European Journal of Biochemistry, 2004 Collectins are a family of collagenous calcium‐dependent defense lectins in animals. Their polypeptide chains consist of four regions: a cysteine‐rich N‐terminal domain, a collagen‐like region, an α‐helical coiled‐coil neck domain and a C‐terminal lectin or carbohydrate‐recognition domain.

Collectin structure: A review [PDF]
Protein Science, 2000 AbstractColleetins are animal calcium dependent lectins that target the carbohydrate structures on invading pathogens, resulting in the agglutination and enhanced clearance of the microorganism. These proteins form trimers that may assemble into larger oligomers.

Endothelial Glycocalyx: The Missing Link Between Angiogenic Imbalance in Preeclampsia and Systemic Inflammation in HELLP Syndrome. [PDF]
Compr PhysiolEndothelial glycocalyx may be the missing link between angiogenic factors, inflammatory regulation, and endothelial maternal dysfunction in early‐onset preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome. ABSTRACT The pathophysiology of preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome relies on systemic vascular endothelial dysfunction, resulting from angiogenic imbalance due to abnormal ...

Investigations on Collectin Liver 1 [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2013 Collectins are pattern recognition molecules of the innate immune system showing binding to carbohydrate structures on microorganisms in a calcium-dependent manner. Recently, three novel collectins, collectin liver 1 (CL-L1), collectin kidney 1 (CL-K1 and CL-11), and collectin placenta 1 (CL-P1), were discovered.

Structural Aspects of Collectins and Receptors for Collectins
Immunobiology, 1998 The collectins are oligomeric molecules composed of C-type lectin domains attached to collagen regions via alpha-coiled neck regions. Five members of the collectins have been characterized. Mannan-binding lectin (MBL), conglutinin and collectin-43 (CL-43) are serum proteins produced by the liver.
