Lotus tetragonolobus lectin is a family of closely related glycoproteins having 2 or 4 subunits of about 28,000 daltons. The isoelectric points differ somewhat but these isolectins probably have similar specificities toward alpha-linked L-fucose containing oligosaccharides. Although many of the binding properties of Lotus lectin are similar to those of Ulex europaeus lectin I, the binding affinities and some specificities for oligosaccharides are markedly different between these fucose-specific lectins. Inhibiting/Eluting Sugar: 50 mM - 100 mM L-fucose |
