This lectin is a tetrameric glycoprotein composed of four subunits of nearly identical size. Each 30,000D subunit has a binding site for alpha- or beta-linked N-acetylglucosamine residues. 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 be unique in its ability to recognize exclusively alpha- or beta-linked N-acetylglucosamine residues on the nonreducing terminal of oligosaccharides. Applications: User-Optimized Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Inhibiting/Eluting Sugar: Chitin Hydrolysate or 200mM N-acetylglucosamine Storage and Stability: Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20C. Stable for 12 months at -20C.
