Human placenta beta-galactoside-binding lectin. Purification and some properties

J Hirabayashi et al. Biochem Biophys Res Commun. .

Abstract

A beta-galactoside-binding lectin was extracted from human placenta homogenate with lactose solution and purified to apparent homogeneity by affinity chromatography on asialofetuin-Sepharose. The apparent subunit molecular weight of the lectin was 13,800 and its isoelectric point was about 5. Several saccharides containing D-galactose inhibited the hemagglutinating activity. The lectin resembles other vertebrate beta-galactoside-binding lectins in various biochemical characteristics.
