PHAs are carbohydrate-binding proteins. There are several types of PHAs identified, predominantly in leguminous plants.
Phytohaemagglutinin (PHA, or phytohemagglutinin) is a lectin found in plants (esp. in legumes). It is obtained from Phaseolus vulgaris (red kidney beans) and acts as a mitogen in human leucocyte culture.
Application
