Legume lectins, despite high sequence homology, express diverse biological activities that
vary in potency and efficacy. In studies reported here, the mannose-specific lectin from …

A glycosylated lectin (CTL) with specificity for mannose and glucose has been detected and
purified from seeds of Centrolobium tomentosum, a legume plant from Dalbergieae tribe. It …

Lectins are a structurally heterogeneous group of proteins or glycoproteins with at least one
noncatalytic domain binding reversibly to a specific mono-or oligosaccharide. Monocot …

Vatairea guianensis lectin (VGL), Dalbergiae tribe, is a N-acetyl-galactosamine
(GalNAc)/Galactose (Gal) lectin previously purified and characterized. In this work, we report …

Plant lectins, especially those purified from species of the Leguminosae family, represent the
best-studied group of carbohydrate-binding proteins. Lectins purified from seeds of the …

The seed lectin (DBL) from the leguminous plant Dolichos biflorus has a unique specificity
among the members of the legume lectin family because of its high preference for GalNAc …

Lectins represent a class of proteins or glycoproteins capable of reversibly binding to
carbohydrates. Seed lectins from the Dalbergieae tribe (Leguminosae) have structural …

CRAMOLL 1 is a mannose/glucose isolectin isolated from Cratylia mollis seeds. This lectin
has 82% sequence identity with Con A and essentially the same quaternary structure. As …

Recent studies have shown that lectins are promising tools for use in various
biotechnological processes, as well as studies of various pathological mechanisms …

Lectins are proteins that specifically bind to carbohydrates and form complexes with
molecules and biological structures containing saccharides. The FRIL (Flt3 receptor …
