Single-nucleotide polymorphisms in porcine mannan-binding lectin A
Immunogenetics, 2006The MBL1 and MBL2 genes encode mannan-binding lectins (MBL) A and C, respectively, that are collagenous lectins (collectins) produced mainly by the liver. Several single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the human MBL2 gene are responsible for various innate immune dysfunctions due to abnormal structure or expression of human MBL-C.

Mannan-binding protein, a complement activating animal lectin
Immunopharmacology, 1992Mannan-binding protein is an animal serum lectin (i.e. a molecule with the ability to bind specifically to certain carbohydrate structures). The relevant carbohydrate ligands are found on many pathogenic microorganisms. After binding to suitable carbohydrate ligands, mannan-binding protein is found to be an activator of the classical pathway of ...

Mannan‐binding lectin and its role in innate immunity
Transfusion Medicine, 2002Summary Mannan‐binding lectin (MBL) is a plasma collectin (C‐type lectin with a collagen‐like domain) and is considered an important component of innate immunity. Circulating MBL is genetically determined for the major part, but plasma concentration is also markedly influenced by nongenetic factors.

Phospholipid-binding activity of human mannan-binding lectin
Immunology Letters, 1998Some C-type lectins possess phospholipid-binding ability, which may be of physiological importance. Human mannan-binding lectin (MBL) was found to bind specifically to solid-phase phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylinositol (PI) and phosphatidylcholine (PC), but not cardiolipin (CL), in a concentration-dependent manner. This property was inhibited by
