C-type lectins in immunity: recent developments [PDF]
Current Opinion in Immunology, 2015 C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) comprise a large superfamily of proteins, which recognise a diverse range of ligands, and are defined by the presence of at least one C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD). Of particular interest are the single extracellular CTLD-containing receptors of the 'Dectin-1' and 'Dectin-2' clusters, which associate with signalling ...

Molecular Cloning and Characteristics of a Lectin from the Bivalve Glycymeris yessoensis
Marine Drugs, 2023 C-type lectins (CTLs) are a family of carbohydrate-binding proteins that mediate multiple biological events, including adhesion between cells, the turnover of serum glycoproteins, and innate immune system reactions to prospective invaders.

Can Plant Lectins Help to Elucidate Insect Lectin-Mediated Immune Response?
Insects, 2021 Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins that recognize and selectively bind to specific sugar structures. This group of proteins is widespread in plants, animals, and microorganisms, and exerts a broad range of functions.

Information transfer in mammalian glycan-based communication
eLife, 2023 Glycan-binding proteins, so-called lectins, are exposed on mammalian cell surfaces and decipher the information encoded within glycans translating it into biochemical signal transduction pathways in the cell.
