Lectins and protectins

General description Wheat germ lectin (WGA) from Triticum vulgaris exists as a homodimer and has multiple N -acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc) binding sites. It is resistant to protein denaturation agents and is used for the detection of O -GlcNAc

Biochem/physiol Actions WGA is not blood group specific but has an affinity for N-acetyl-&#946:- D -glucosaminyl residues and N-acetyl-&#946:- D -glucosamine oligomers. WGA contains no protein-bound carbohydrate.
