| Lecster ID:106 | Edit Entry |
| Source Organism: | Bastard teak |
| Species: | Butea monosperma or frondosa |
| Common Nomenclature: | |
| Class: | Legume lectins |
| Index Nomenclature: | LECp.But.Mon.se.Hga1 |
| Characterization Notes: | Lectin activity was also reported in Butea bojapatra. See: Lect. Biol.Biochem. Clin. Biochem. 1985 (4) 547-557 |
| Biological Activity: | The lectin agglutinates all human erythrocytes but not hamster, pigeon, goose and mouse erythrocytes. See: Plant Sci. 1994 (103);121-126 The lectin from Butea frondosa is a fairly effective mitogen for human lymphocytes. See: Lect. Biol.Biochem. Clin. Biochem. 1985 (4) 559-565 |
| Source Tissue: | Seeds. No activity was detected in the roots, flowers, stems or leaves. |
| Specificity: | GalNAc(>Lac>N-acetyllactosamine) |
| Inhibitors: | The agglutinating activity of the lectin is inhibited by N-acteylgalactosamine, and to a lesser extent lactose and N-acetyllactosamine. |
