Intelectins are putative innate immune lectins that are found throughout chordates. The first
intelectin reported was Xenopus laevis cortical granule lectin-1 (XCGL-1 or XL-35). XCGL-1 …

We have identified members of the Xenopus cortical granule lectin (xCGL) family as
candidate target glycoproteins of Xenopus galectin-VIIa (xgalectin-VIIa) in Xenopus …

Intelectins (X-type lectins), broadly distributed throughout chordates, have been implicated
in innate immunity. Xenopus laevis embryonic epidermal lectin (XEEL), an intelectin …

The intelectin (Intl) family is a group of secretory lectins in chordates that serve multiple
functions, including innate immunity, through Ca 2+-dependent recognition of carbohydrate …

Intelectin is a recently characterized soluble galactofuranose-binding lectin that exists in
species ranging from amphioxus to human. Interestingly, intelectin does not contain a …

A novel mannose-specific lectin, named CGL1 (15.5 kDa), was isolated from the oyster
Crassostrea gigas. Characterization of CGL1 involved isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) …

Galectins (S-type lectins) are an ancient family of lectins with the β-galactoside binding
activity. In mammals, galectins play essential roles in many biological processes, such as …

Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) binding proteins (GAGBPs), including growth factors, cytokines,
morphogens, and extracellular matrix proteins, interact with both free GAGs and those …

A C-type lectin (CfLec-3) from Chlamys farreri with three carbohydrate-recognition domains
(CRDs) was selected to dissect the possible mechanisms of PAMP binding and functional …

Intelectins are glycan-binding lectins found in various species including cephalochordates,
urochordates, fish, amphibians and mammals. But their detailed functions are not well …
