Macrobrachium rosenbergii
|
| Lecster ID:425 | Edit Entry |
| Source Organism: | Freshwater prawn |
| Species: | Macrobrachium rosenbergii |
| Common Nomenclature: | MrL |
| Class: | |
| Index Nomenclature: | LECi.Mac.Ros.xx.Xxxx |
| Characterization Notes: | A sialic acid specific lectin (MrL) that agglutinates erythrocytes from rat and rabbit, as well as some Gram negative and positive bacterial strains. |
| Biological Activity: | |
| Source Tissue: | |
| Specificity: | Since agglutination of erythrocytes (RBC) is not abolished by treatment with Vibrio cholerae neuraminidase (VCN), Macrobrachium shows an agglutination pattern different from that of other sialic acid-specific lectins such as Limulus polyphemus lectin. |
| Inhibitors: | Hemagglutination-inhibition tests indicate that sialic acid containing compounds are the best inhibitors for Macrobrachium lectins. |
