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.
