C-Type Lectins Link Immunological and Reproductive Processes in Aedes aegypti
iScience, 2020 Summary: Physiological trade-offs between mosquito immune response and reproductive capability can arise due to insufficient resource availability. C-type lectin family members may be involved in these processes.

Snake venom C-type lectins as tools in platelet research
, 1998 The snake C-type lectins are a major group of proteins present in venoms that fold to a structure with similarities to classic C-type lectins. The loop that would be involved in calcium and sugar binding is truncated and heterodimers are linked by a ...

The three-dimensional structure of codakine and related marine C-type lectins
, 2007 Codakine is a new Ca2+-dependent mannose-binding C-type lectin (MBL) isolated from the gill tissue of the tropical clam, Codakia orbicularis. Bioinformatic analyses with the BLAST program have revealed similarities with marine lectins involved in ...
