The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, Volume 34, Issue 12, Page 673-683, December 2018., 2018 Abstract The present study describes the predicted model and functional characterization of an endochitinase (30 kDa) from corms of Gladiolus grandiflorus. ESI‐QTOF‐MS generated peptide showed 96% sequence homology with family 18, Class III acidic endochitinase of Gladiolus gandavensis. Purified G.

The effect of Cratylia floribunda lectin on renal hemodynamics and ion transport
Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2015 Lectins have been described as glycoproteins that reversibly and specifically bind to carbohydrates. Legume lectins isolated from the subtribe Diocleinae (Canavalia, Dioclea andCratylia) are structurally homologous with respect to their primary ...

The Hepatoprotection by Oleanolic Acid Preconditioning: Focusing on PPARα Activation
PPAR Research, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 Objective. Previous studies have characterized the hepatoprotective and anti‐inflammatory properties of oleanolic acid (OA). This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms of OA hepatoprotection in concanavalin A‐ (ConA‐) induced acute liver injury. Materials and Methods. ConA (20 mg/kg) was intravenously injected to induce acute liver injury

TAXON, Volume 66, Issue 1, Page 44-77, February 2017., 2017 Abstract The classification of the legume family proposed here addresses the long‐known non‐monophyly of the traditionally recognised subfamily Caesalpinioideae, by recognising six robustly supported monophyletic subfamilies. This new classification uses as its framework the most comprehensive phylogenetic analyses of legumes to date, based on plastid ...

Lectins, Interconnecting Proteins with Biotechnological/Pharmacological and Therapeutic Applications
Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017 Lectins are proteins extensively used in biomedical applications with property to recognize carbohydrates through carbohydrate‐binding sites, which identify glycans attached to cell surfaces, glycoconjugates, or free sugars, detecting abnormal cells and biomarkers related to diseases.
