Isolation and characterization of a fish F-type lectin from gilt head bream (Sparus aurata) serum [PDF]
, 2007 A novel fucose-binding lectin, designated SauFBP32, was purified by affinity chromatography on fucose-agarose, from the serum of the gilt head bream Sparus aurata.

Animal lectins as cell adhesion molecules [PDF]
, 1998 Protein-carbohydrate interaction is exploited in cell adhesion mechanisms besides the recognition of peptide motifs. The sugar code thus significantly contributes to the intriguing specificity of cellular selection of binding partners.

C-type lectins facilitate tumor metastasis
Oncology Letters, 2016 Metastasis, a life-threatening complication of cancer, leads to the majority of cases of cancer-associated mortality. Unfortunately, the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms of cancer metastasis remain to be fully elucidated. C-type lectins are a large group of proteins, which share structurally homologous carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs)

From structural to functional glycomics: core substitutions as molecular switches for shape and lectin affinity of N-glycans [PDF]
, 2009 Glycan epitopes of cellular glycoconjugates act as versatile biochemical signals (sugar coding). Here, we test the hypothesis that the common N-glycan modifications by core fucosylation and introduction of the bisecting N-acetylglucosamine moiety have ...

Drosophila C-type lectins enhance cellular encapsulation [PDF]
Molecular Immunology, 2007 C-type lectins are calcium-dependent carbohydrate binding proteins, and animal C-type lectins participate in innate immunity and cell-cell interactions. In the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, more than 30 genes encode C-type lectin domains. However, functions of Drosophila C-type lectins in innate immunity are not well understood.
