Description

Ricine CAS NO 9067-26-9 is a high-purity, standardized extract derived from the castor bean plant (*Ricinus communis*), primarily known for its lectin content. This compound is of significant interest in biochemical and pharmaceutical research due to its potent biological activity and specific binding properties. It serves as a critical reagent for scientists and manufacturers in the fields of immunology, cell biology, and targeted therapeutic development.

Application

• Biomedical Research: Used as a model toxin in studies of protein synthesis inhibition, intracellular trafficking, and apoptosis mechanisms.
• Immunotoxin Development: Serves as a cytotoxic warhead in the construction of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and other targeted cancer therapies.
• Diagnostic Reagent: Employed in laboratory assays for cell surface marker detection and affinity chromatography purification processes.
• Vaccine Adjuvant Research: Investigated for its potential to modulate immune responses in experimental vaccine formulations.
• Plant Biochemistry Studies: Utilized in research on plant defense mechanisms and lectin biology.
• Quality Control Standard: Acts as a reference standard in the quality assurance of related biopharmaceutical products and diagnostic kits.
