Isolectin GS-IB
4 is a 114,000-dalton glycoprotein that is part of a family of five tetrameric type I isolectins (IA
4, IA
3B, IA
2B
2, IAB
3, and IB
4) isolated from the seeds of the tropical African legume
Griffonia simplicifolia. The A subunit prefers N-acetyl-D-galactosamine end groups while the B subunit is selective for terminal a-D-galactosyl residues. The
biotin-XX isolectin GS-IB4 conjugate can be used in fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry in conjunction with fluorescently labeled streptavidin..
