β-Glucosyl Yariv reagent CAS 58130-67-9

FC-102

The β-glucosyl Yariv reagent is a synthetic phenyl glycoside that specifically binds to and precipitates plant arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs). This Yariv reagent can be used as histological probe to localise the sub-cellular distribution of AGPs¹ and to visualise AGPs after electrophoresis.² In addition, binding of β-glucosyl Yariv reagent can also disrupt the normal function of AGPs and provide a system to study their function.³
