Application

α-Lactose-agarose has been used:
  • in protein chromatography to purify galectins from lysed bacteria cells
  • to capture ricin based on lectin-carbohydrate affinity
  • to study microneme proteins and host-parasite cell surface receptors

α-lLactose-agarose is used in protein chromatography, affinity chromatography and carbohydrate matrices. α--Lactose-agarose has been used to study microneme proteins and host-parasite cell surface receptors.

Secretions of the uterus support survival and growth of the conceptus (embryo/fetus and associated membranes) during pregnancy. Galectin-15, also known as OVGAL11 and a previously uncharacterized member of the galectin family of secreted beta-galactoside lectins containing a conserved carbohydrate recognition

Galectins play key roles in numerous biological processes. Their mode of action depends on their localization which can be extracellular, cytoplasmic, or nuclear and is partly mediated through interactions with β-galactose containing glycans. Galectins have emerged as novel therapeutic targets

Host cell invasion by Toxoplasma gondii is a multistep process with one of the first steps being the apical release of micronemal proteins that interact with host receptors. We demonstrate here that micronemal protein 1 (MIC1) is a lactose-binding lectin.

Microneme proteins have been shown to play an important role in the early phase of host cell adhesion, by mediating the contact between the parasite and host cell surface receptors. In this study we have identified and characterized a lectin-like

Lectin AAL (Agrocybe aegerita lectin) from the edible mushroom A. aegerita is an antitumor protein that exerts its tumor-suppressing function via apoptosis-inducing activity in cancer cells. The crystal structures of ligand-free AAL and its complex with lactose have been determined.
