Wheat Germ Agglutinin (WGA)

XFD594 Same Structure to Alexa Fluor™ 594

XFD594 is manufactured by AAT Bioquest, and it has the same chemical structure of Alexa Fluor® 594 (Alexa Fluor® is the trademark of ThermoFisher). Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) is a lectin that binds to N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and sialic acid. Since WGA binds to glycoconjugates its derivatives and conjugates are widely used to label cell membranes and fibrotic scar tissue for fluorescence imaging and analysis. XFD594 conjugate of WGA is equivalent to the Alexa Fluor® 594 conjugate of WGA. It exhibits bright, red fluorescence. XFD594 WGA conjugate binds to sialic acid and N-acetylglucosaminyl residues.
