Product Description

Wheat germ agglutinin, labeled AF488 (hereinafter referred to as "AF488 WAG"), is a lectin that binds to N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and sialic acid. It is the brightest WGA conjugate in green fluorescence. WGA binds to glycoconjugates, and its derivatives and conjugates are widely used for labeling cell membranes and fibrotic scar tissues for fluorescence imaging and analysis. The sugar binding specificity of WGA is related to the sequence of β -1,4-GlcNAc linking residues, i.e. chitinase. Each monomer contains two identical non interacting binding sites that complement 3 or 4 β -1,4-GlcNAc units. Among the detected monosaccharides, only GlcNAc binds to WGA. Mannan does not bind, while GalNAc can only weakly bind. WGA has a high affinity for binding to internal GlcNAc residues in large oligosaccharides containing Gal β (1-4) GlcNAc β (1-3) repeat sequences (i.e., galactosaminoglycans). N-acetylneuraminic acid only participates in low affinity interactions with WGA. WGA exhibits rich carbohydrate specific binding modes, which can be used for structural analysis of complex carbohydrates.
