Thermo Scientific Pierce D-Galactose Agarose enables purification of lectins, galactosidases and other galactose-binding molecules.
The immobilized D-galactose is a beaded agarose affinity resin that enables purification of agglutinins, lectins, toxins, and other galactose-binding proteins, N-acetylgalactosamine-binding proteins or carbohydrate-binding proteins. This purification method is milder and/or more specific than other methods, allowing protein recovery in a manner that preserves activity for downstream applications.
Features of D-Galactose Agarose:
• Ligand: thio-alpha-D-galactose • Synonyms: thio-alpha-gal, thio-gal • Support: crosslinked 6% beaded agarose • Binding capacity: at least 20 mg jacalin per milliliter of settled resin • Format: 50% resin slurry in 0.02% sodium azide • Storage: 4°C
Applications: • Human alpha-galactosidase A purification1 • C-type lectin purification2 • E. coli heat labile enterotoxin purification3,4 • Cholera toxin (CT) purification4,5
