|
| Lecster ID:30 | Edit Entry |
| Source Organism: | Couch grass |
| Species: | Agropyrum repens |
| Common Nomenclature: | AREL, ARLL |
| Class: | Hololectin; Monocot mannose-binding lectins |
| Index Nomenclature: | LECp.Agr.Rep.se.Hch1 (AREL) LECp.Agr.Rep.le.Hch1 (ARLL) |
| Characterization Notes: | It has been shown that the lectin content of couch grass leaves varies enormously during the seasons. |
| Biological Activity: | In addition, couch grass leaf (ARLL) lectin exhibits specificity for N-acetylgalactosamine and agglutinates preferentially blood-group-A erythrocytes. AREL shows no blood group specificity. |
