Maackia amurensis (MAA/MAL I+II)

Maackia amurensis Lectin (MAA/MAL I + II) is composed of two isolectins extracted from Maackia amurensis seeds and purified by affinity chromatography. MAA I + II can be used to detect N-linked and O-linked sialylated glycans. Neither isolectin agglutinates one blood type more than another and agglutination can be inhibited by lactose at high concentrations.||Source:|Amur maackia||Blood Specificity:|Non-specific||Sugar Specificity:|N-Acetylneuraminic acid (Sialic acid)||Inhibitory Carbohydrate:|Human Glycophorin||Divalent Ions:|None Required||Storage and Stability:|Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C.
