• Beschreibung: Methyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-3-O-(b-D-galactopyranosyl)-a-D-galactopyranoside is a lectin that binds to the terminal galactose of b-D-galactopyranosides. It has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of cellular death and is able to bind to the surface of cells, preventing their destruction by the immune system or other natural factors. The binding site for MGA is found on cell membranes, and it can also act as an antiinflammatory agent. MGA has also been shown to inhibit interactions between proteins, which may lead to changes in protein synthesis and regulation. Lectins are proteins that bind to specific carbohydrates on the surfaces of cells. They are part of a group called glycoproteins and are often used as probes in techniques such as lectin histochemistry and immunohistochemistry.
