Structural highlights

Function

[LECA_DIOGR] D-mannose/D-glucose-binding lectin. Has anti-inflammatory activity in rats. Induces histamine release in mast cells from rat. Induces lymphocyte proliferation and IFNG production. Shows toxicity against the aquatic snail B.glabrata at concentrations higher than 50 ug/ml.^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]}
