Plant lectins, chemical and biological aspects
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1991 Lectins, carbohydrate-binding proteins of non-immune origin, that agglutinate cells or precipitate polysaccharides and glycoconjugates, are well distributed in nature, mainly in the Plant Kingdom.

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.

Glycobiology of the olfactory system [PDF]
, 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 ...

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 ...

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1997 Protein and lipid glycosylation is no longer considered as a topic whose appeal is restricted to a limited number of analytical experts perseveringly pursuing the comprehensive cataloguing of structural variants. It is in fact arousing curiosity in various areas of basic and applied bioscience.

Hijacking emergency granulopoiesis: Neutrophil ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Neutrophils are highly plastic innate immune cells; their functions in cancer extend beyond the tumour microenvironment. This Review summarises current understanding of neutrophil maturation and heterogeneity and highlights tumour‐induced granulopoiesis as a systemic programme that expands immature, immunosuppressive neutrophils via tumour‐derived ...

The three-dimensional structure of codakine and related marine C-type lectins [PDF]
, 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 ...
