Molecular structure of
Rye:SCA

Secale cereale
|
| Lecster ID:598 | Edit Entry |
| Source Organism: | Rye |
| Species: | Secale cereale |
| Common Nomenclature: | SCA |
| Class: | Chitin-binding lectins |
| Index Nomenclature: | LECp.Sec.Cer.se.Hch1 |
| Characterization Notes: | The rye lectin is very closely related to wheat germ agglutinin (WGA). See: Biochem J 1982 Apr 1;203(1):239-43 Similar lectins have been found in S. kupriianivii, S. montanum, S. silvestre and S. vavilovii. See: Planta 1983 (159);105-111 |
| Biological Activity: | The erythroagglutinating activity is the same against human red blood cells of all types of the ABO system and is inhibited by N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. The lectin has no mitogenic activity against mouse splenic lymphocytes. See; Acta Biol Med Ger 1982;41(9):771-80 It also agglutinates rabbit erythrocytes. See: Biochem J 1982 Apr 1;203(1):239-43 |
| Source Tissue: | Embryo |
