β-Glucan Synthesis Gene Family in Crops: Advances in Classification, Function, and Regulation [PDF]
Current Issues in Molecular Biologyβ-glucan is an important component of crop cell walls, and its chemical structure is closely related to its physiological function. Among them, (1,3;1,4)-β-glucan (mixed-linkage β-glucan, MLGs) is a unique type of β-glucan in graminaceous crops.

Binding of soluble yeast β-glucan to human neutrophils and monocytes is complement- dependent [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2013 The immunomodulatory properties of yeast β-1,3/1,6 glucans are mediated through their ability to be recognized by human innate immune cells. While several studies have investigated binding of opsonized and unopsonized particulate β-glucans to human ...
