Lectins are proteins found in a diversity of organisms. They possess the ability to agglutinate
erythrocytes with known carbohydrate specificity since they have at least one non-catalytic …

Medicinal mushrooms belonging to higher Basidiomycetes are an immensely rich yet largely
untapped resource of useful, easily accessible, natural compounds with various biological …

For thousands of years, fungi have been a valuable and promising source of therapeutic
agents for treatment of various diseases. Mushroom is a macrofungus which has been …

Lectins are non-immunoglobulin proteins that bind diverse sugar structures with a high
degree of selectivity. Lectins play crucial role in various biological processes such as …

Lectins are nonimmune proteins or glycoproteins that bind specifically to cell surface
carbohydrates, culminating in cell agglutination. These are known to play key roles in host …

Lectins are proteins that bind to carbohydrates and sugar containing substances in a
specific and reversible way or precipitate glycoconjugates. These heterogeneous class of …

Mushrooms are famous for their nutritional and medicinal values and also for the diversity of
bioactive compounds they contain including lectins. The present review is an attempt to …

Lectins/hemagglutinins are a class of sugar-binding proteins which agglutinate cells and/or
precipitate glycoconjugates. They occur widely in plants but manifest significant differences …

HEG-5, a novel glycoprotein with hemagglutinating activity, was firstly isolated and purified
from the cultured mycelia of Hericium erinaceus CZ-2. SDS–PAGE, Native-PAGE and …

We describe here the purification and characterization of a new Phaseolus vulgaris lectin
that exhibits selective toxicity to human hepatoma Hep G2 cells and lacks significant toxicity …
