| Lecster ID:270 | Edit Entry |
| Source Organism: | Jerusalem artichoke |
| Species: | Helianthus tuberosus |
| Common Nomenclature: | HTA |
| Class: | Jacalin-related lectins |
| Index Nomenclature: | LECp.Hel.Tub.tu.Hmmm1 |
| Characterization Notes: | A reinvestigation of Helianthus tuber lectin revealed that it is closely related to the Calystegia lectin with respect to its molecular structure and sugar specificity. |
| Biological Activity: | HTA agglutinates blood group A erythrocytes over other ABO groups, although all blood groups are agglutinated. See: Life Sciences 1991 (312); 573-578 |
| Source Tissue: | Tubers |
| Specificity: | Man/Maltose (alpha linked manno-oligosaccharides) |
| Inhibitors: | HTA is inhibited by N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, glucose, mannose, but not by galactose or N-acetyl galactosamine. |
