... Society, London 2006 anticoagulant C-type lectin metalloproteinase phospholipase A 2 snake venom three-finger toxin Snake venoms are complex mixtures of pharmacologically active proteins and polypeptides. They play an important role in incapacitating and immobilizing, as well...

...Takahiro Tanji; Ayako Ohashi-Kobayashi; Shunji Natori A galactose-specific C-type lectin has been purified from a pupal extract of Drosophila melanogaster . This lectin gene, named DL1 ( D rosophila l ectin 1 ), is part of a gene cluster with the other two galactose-specific C-type lectin genes...

... is related to the collectin family of Ca 2+ -binding C-type lectins. Tetranectin is encoded in three exons. Exon 3 encodes the carbohydrate recognition domain, which binds to kringle 4 in plasminogen at low levels of Ca 2+ . Exon 2 encodes an α-helix, which is necessary and sufficient to govern...

... % -4GalNAc-terminated oligosaccharides was surprising be- cause structure function analysis of the mannose-specific CRDs of the receptor and other C-type lectins suggest that these do not bind galactose-containing ligands [2]. However, the mannose receptor is a multidomain protein and only some of its...
