Structural highlights

Function

CONA_CANBR Glucose/D-mannose specific lectin. Has anti-inflammatory activity in rats. Induces histamine release in mast cells from hamster and rat. Induces lymphocyte proliferation and IFNG production. Shows toxicity against the aquatic snail B.glabrata at concentrations higher than 20 ug/ml.^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]}
