Glycosylation-Dependent Induction of Programmed Cell Death in Murine Adenocarcinoma Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Altered surface glycosylation is a major hallmark of tumor cells associated with aggressive phenotype and poor prognosis. By recognizing specific carbohydrate motifs, lectins can be applied to distinguish tumor from healthy cells based on the expression ...

Lectin microarray [PDF]

open access: yesPROTEOMICS – Clinical Applications, 2009
AbstractLectin microarray is a new technology that utilizes a panel of lectins immobilized on well‐defined substrate for high‐throughout analysis of glycans and glycoproteins. In this article, we have reviewed the fabrication and detection schemes in lectin microarray and discussed its novel applications in glycomics. We have also demonstrated a lectin

Banana Lectin: A Brief Review

open access: yesMolecules, 2014
Lectins are a group of proteins of non-immune origin that recognize and bind to carbohydrates without modifying them. Banana is the common name for both herbaceous plants of the genus Musa and for the fruit they produce.

Structural Diversities of Lectins Binding to the Glycosphingolipid Gb3

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021
Glycolipids are present on the surfaces of all living cells and thereby represent targets for many protein receptors, such as lectins. Understanding the interactions between lectins and glycolipids is essential for investigating the functions of lectins ...

Algal Lectins and their Potential Uses

open access: yesSqualen, 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 ...

Glycobiology of the olfactory system [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
The olfactory system is a highly plastic region of the nervous system. Continuous remodeling of neuronal circuits in the olfactory bulb takes place throughout life as a result of constant turnover of primary sensory olfactory neurons in the periphery ...

Are Vicilins Another Major Class of Legume Lectins?

open access: yesMolecules, 2014
Legume lectins comprise a structurally related, Ca/Mn-dependent, widespread, abundant and well characterized lectin family when compared to the large number of lectins from other sources described in the literature. Strangely enough, no specific function

Genome-wide analysis of lectins in cyanobacteria: from evolutionary mode to motif patterns

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2023
Lectins are glycoproteins that can bind to specific carbohydrates, and different lectin families exhibit different biological activities. They are also present in the cyanobacteria and many of them have shown excellent therapeutic effect, which deserve ...

Interaction of Diocleinae Lectins with Glycoproteins Based in Surface Plasmon Resonance

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2002
Interaction of glucose/mannose-binding lectins in solution with immobilized glycoproteins was followed in real time using surface plasmon resonance technology.
