| Lecster ID:10 | Edit Entry |
| Source Organism: | Achantina snail |
| Species: | Achatina fulica |
| Common Nomenclature: | Achatina fulica Cold Aggltutinin; achatinin-H |
| Class: | |
| Index Nomenclature: | LECi.Ach.ful.xx.Xsi1 |
| Characterization Notes: | As a probe for detection of subtle changes on the cell surface induced during acute lymphoblastic leukemia and its clinical application. See: Ind J Biochem Biophys 1997;34:82; |
| Biological Activity: | |
| Source Tissue: | |
| Specificity: | Achatinin-H shows a high affinity for 9-O-acetylneuraminic acid. For binding of galactose, see: Lect. Biol. Biochem. Clin. Biochem.1988 (6) 411 For affinity of cold agglutinin towards N-acetyllactosamine, see: Lect. Biol. Biochem. Clin. Biochem.1986 (5) 251 |
| Inhibitors: | The inhibition of agglutination of human umbilical-cord erythrocytes by the cold agglutinin is specific for methyl beta-D-galactoside and also for glycolipids present on cord erythrocytes. |
