Fluorophore Conjugated

Fluorophore Conjugated Lectins are lectins that are covalently attached to a fluorescent dye, enabling their use in fluorescence-based assays for the detection and analysis of glycan structures. These lectins maintain their specific carbohydrate-binding properties while the attached fluorophore allows for sensitive, real-time visualization of glycan interactions in live cells or in vitro. Common applications include glycan profiling, glycoprotein detection, and lectin-based microarray analysis, where these conjugated lectins can be used to identify and map glycan structures on cell surfaces or in tissue samples.

Fluorophore-conjugated lectins provide a powerful and non-invasive approach for studying carbohydrate-mediated biological processes and interactions in a variety of experimental settings.
