Urtica dioica (UDA) (Ferritin)

Urtica dioica Lectin (UDA) is conjugated to ferritin, that has a molecular weight of 474,000 g/mol (all 24 subunits combined). Ferritin-conjugated lectins can be used to visualize localization of specific saccharide moieties and examine the distribution of plasma membrane glycoproteins. These conjugates can be viewed via electron microscopy.||Source:|Stinging nettle||Blood Specificity:|O > A1 > A2||Sugar Specificity:|N-Acetylglucosamine||Inhibitory Carbohydrate:|Oligomers of beta(1,4) - linked N-Acetylglucosamine||Storage and Stability:|May be stored at 4°C.
