Griffonia (Bandeiraea) Simplicifolia Lectin II (GSL II, BSL II), Fluorescein
Description
This lectin is a dimeric glycoprotein consisting of two subunits of nearly equal size, each with a disulfide linked chain and a binding site for an alpha - or β-linked N-acetylglucosamine residue. Unlike other N-acetylglucosamine specific lectins, increasing the number of N-acetylglucosamine residues beyond two does not improve affinity. GSL II has been reported to have a unique ability to recognize α-or β-linked N-acetylglucosamine residues on the non-reducing ends of oligosaccharides. Fluorescein-labeled GSL II has the appropriate amount of fluorescent dye binding to provide optimal staining properties for this lectin. This conjugated substance basically does not contain unconjugated fluorescent dyes. The excitation maximum is 495nm and the emission maximum is 515nm.
