Crotacetin, a novel snake venom C-type lectin, is homolog of convulxin
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2005 Snake venom (sv) C-type lectins encompass a group of hemorrhagic toxins, which are able to interfere with hemostasis. They share significant similarity in their primary structures with C-type lectins of other animals, and also present a conserved ...

Human Galectins Induce Conversion of Dermal Fibroblasts into Myofibroblasts and Production of Extracellular Matrix: Potential Application in Tissue Engineering and Wound Repair [PDF]
, 2011 Members of the galectin family of endogenous lectins are potent adhesion/growth-regulatory effectors. Their multi-functionality opens possibilities for their use in bioapplications. We studied whether human galectins induce the conversion of human dermal

C-type lectins in immunity to Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2011 Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the leading causes of death due to a single infectious agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, with nearly 2 million deaths per year (1). Most individuals exposed to the bacillus develop a nonpathological form, latent TB, with only a small minority (5 to 10%) developing active disease.

, 2016 C-type lectins, originally defined as proteins binding carbohydrates in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner, form a large family containing soluble and membrane-bound proteins. Among them, those expressed on phagocytes and working as pathogen pattern-recognition receptors were designated as C-type lectin receptors (CLRs), in accordance with Toll-like receptors ...

The C‐type lectin‐like domain superfamily
The FEBS Journal, 2005 The superfamily of proteins containing C‐type lectin‐like domains (CTLDs) is a large group of extracellular Metazoan proteins with diverse functions. The CTLD structure has a characteristic double‐loop (‘loop‐in‐a‐loop’) stabilized by two highly conserved disulfide bridges located at the bases of the loops, as well as a set of conserved hydrophobic and

Syk-coupled C-type lectins in immunity
Trends in Immunology, 2011 The Syk-coupled C-type lectin receptor Dectin-1 was the first non-Toll like receptor described that could mediate its own intracellular signalling. It was initially identified as important for the innate recognition of and response to fungal pathogens but later studies revealed that it is also involved in triggering adaptive immune responses.

An evolutionary perspective on C-type lectins in infection and immunity
, 2012 Host-pathogen interactions have coevolved formany years. On the one hand, the human immune system consists of innate and adaptive immune cells that function to defeat pathogens, and on the other hand, pathogens have coevolved to use the system for their ...
