The biological role of hemolymph lectins in Episesarma tetragonum [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2013 The hemolymph of the mangrove crab, E. tetragonum contains lectins specific for NeuGcα 2, 3 Gal β1-4 GluNAc β1 linkage and O-acetyl sialic acids. The role of sialic acid specific lectins on natural immunity of the crab is studied by using several kinds ...

Plant lectins: Handymen at the cell surface
The Cell Surface, 2022 Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins and are involved in a multitude of biological functions. Lectins at the surface of plant cells often occur as lectin receptor-like kinases (LecRLK) anchored to the plasma membrane.

Heterogeneity in glycan composition on the surface of HIV-1 envelope determines virus sensitivity to lectins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Lectins that target N-glycans on the surface of HIV-1 envelope (Env) glycoprotein have the potential for use as antiviral agents. Although progress has been made in deciphering the molecular details of lectin and Env glycan interaction, further studies ...

Algal Lectins and their Potential Uses
Squalen, 2015 Lectins (hemagglutinins), or carbohydrate-binding proteins, are ubiquitous in nature and play important roles in many biological processes. They bind mono- and oligosaccharides reversibly with high specificity, but are devoid of catalytic activity, and ...
