This lectin is a dimer of two identical subunits of about 36 kDa
each. Unlike Ulex europaeus and Lotus tetragonolobus
lectins which prefer (α -1,2) linked fucose residues, Aleuria aurantia lectin binds preferentially to fucose linked (α -1,6)
to N-acetylglucosamine or to fucose linked (α -1,3) to
N-acetyllactosamine related structures. AAL also reversibly
binds fucose attached to nucleic acids
Inhibiting/Eluting Sugar: 100 mM L-fucose
