Jacalin Galactose-binding lectin to purify IgA Product Overview Product Name: Jacalin Alternate Name/Synonyms: Jacalin Gene Symbol: N/A Accession #: Q38720 Gene ID: N/A Source: Artocarpus heterophyllus (Jackfruit) Appearance: Lyophilized Physical Form Description: Lyophilized without additives Molecular Weight: 14.6 kDa (β chain) and 17.1 kDa (full protein) Purity by SDS-PAGE: ≥97% Purity by HPLC: N/A Endotoxin Level: < 0.1 EU/mg Biological Activity: N/A Reconstitution Instructions: Reconstitute in water Storage Temp.: -20°C Shipping: Gel pack Background Information: Jacalin is isolated from Jackfruit seeds and purified by affinity chromatography. It is a glycoprotein with two non-covalently bound subunits (14.6 and 17.1 kDa) and belongs to the family of galactose-binding lectins. Jacalin is preferably used in applications to isolate IgA from human serum, isolating human plasma glycoproteins and for applications in histochemistry. BioVision’s Jacalin is supplied as a white to light-yellow lyophilized powder without additives. The purity of the lectin is determined by SDS-PAGE, generating two homogeneous bands at 14 kDa and 17 kDa. Gene Bank Accession Number Q38720.
