Brachypodium sylvaticum : False broome grass
BsyL
|
Molecular structure of
False broome grass:BsyL
|
Brachypodium sylvaticum
|
| Lecster ID:95 | Edit Entry |
| Source Organism: | False broome grass |
| Species: | Brachypodium sylvaticum |
| Common Nomenclature: | BsyL |
| Class: | Chitin-binding lectins |
| Index Nomenclature: | LECp.Bra.Syl.se.Hch1 |
| Characterization Notes: | Although this lectin resembles cereal lectins with respect to its biochemical and physicochemical properties, it differs structurally in several aspects from wheat-germ-agglutinin-like lectins. See: Biochem J 1982 Sep 1;205(3):635-8 |
| Biological Activity: | The lectin agglutinates all human erythrocytes equally well regardless of blood group. See: Biochem. J. 1982 (205); 635-638 |
| Source Tissue: | |
| Specificity: | GlcNAc (oligomers> monomer) |
| Inhibitors: | Oligomers of GlcNAc are more effective inhibitors of agglutination than the monomer. |
