Tn/T Specific Agglutinin from Estuarine Crab Scylla Serrata with Potent
Mitogenic Activity on Mouse Splenocytes and Antiproliferative Effect on
Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HepG2) Cell
Abstract:A lectin was purified from the hemolymph of esturarine crab Scylla serrata by successive 40% (NH 4) 2 SO 4 precipitation, affinity chromatography on asialo fetuin-Sepharose column, Resource Q anion-exchanger in FPLC system and designated as scyllin-2. Scyllin-2 was a homogeneous monomeric protein of molecular mass 75 kD judged by SDS-PAGE and confirmed by ESI-MS-Q-ToF. Its activity was Ca +2 dependent being maximum at pH 7.5 and at 20 °C. N-terminal sequence of scyllin-2 showed close resemblance to peanut lect… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
