Product Description
Arachis hypogaea (peanut) PNA Lectin is specific for terminal β-galactose and binds preferentially to a commonly occurring structure, galactosyl (β-1,3) N-acetylgalactosamine. PNA conjugates are widely used histological stains.
- Isolated from peanuts and purified by affinity chromatography
- Available with green, red, and far-red fluorescence
- Superior CF® Dyes are bright, photostable, and water-soluble
Lectins are proteins or glycoproteins of non-immune origin that agglutinate cells and /or precipitate complex carbohydrates. Lectins are capable of binding glycoproteins even in presence of various detergents. The lectin has a molecular weight of 110 kDa and consists of four identical subunits of approximately 27 kDa each. PNA does not agglutinate normal human erythrocytes, but strongly agglutinates neuraminidase treated erythrocytes.
Find the Right Stain for Your Application
PNA and other lectins are carbohydrate binding proteins that recognize specific sugar moieties on glycoproteins. The presence and distribution of these targets vary between cell types and tissues. As a result, other cell stains or other lectin conjugates, Wheat Germ Agglutinin (WGA) Conjugates and ConA Lectin Conjugates, may produce better staining and may be more appropriate for your cell type. Lectin conjugates can be used to selectively stain the cell surface of live cells, and withstand fixation and permeabilization. When cells are fixed and permeabilized before staining, fluorescent lectins stain both cell surface and organelles in the secretory pathway. Lectins may be toxic or stimulatory to live cells depending on cell type. To find the right stain for your application, see our Membrane & Cell Surface Stains Comparison, or download our Membrane & Surface Stains Brochure. See our Cellular Stains Table for more information on how our dyes stain various organisms.
Superior CF® Dyes
Biotium’s next-generation CF® Dyes were designed to be highly water-soluble with advantages in brightness and photostability compared to other fluorescent dyes. Learn more about CF® Dyes.
