Ricinus Communis Agglutinin I (RCA I, RCA120), Agarose bound

Agarose bound Ricinus communis agglutinin I is prepared using our affinity-purified lectins. This lectin consists of two subunits of 60 kDa which can be dissociated by reducing agents into closely related chains between 27 kDa and 33 kDa. One of the chains appears to be common to the B chain of another castor bean lectin, ricin, while the other chain is unique to RCA I.

Features:

• Bead diameter ranges in size from 45-165 microns
• Matrix is stable in solutions at pH 3-11 as well as many organic solventsImmobilized lectins are prepared using affinity purified lectins
• Covalent attachment preserves lectin activity and minimizes conformational changes that might result in nonspecific or hydrophobic interactions
• Conjugated proteins are not leached off the beads by Tris or other routinely used buffers
• No residual charges present after conjugation. This minimizes non-specific binding to the matrix
• Product supplied as a 1:1 suspension in buffer
• Inhibiting/Eluting Sugar: 200 mM galactose or lactose or Glycoprotein Eluting Solution (ES-2100)
