Lectins are oligomeric carbohydrate-binding proteins characterized by the presence of a carbohydrate recognition domain that is highly specific for sugar moieties. They are ubiquitous and have been found in animals, plants, and microorganisms.<br /><br />The interaction between lectins and carbohydrates have been shown to be involved in such activities as opsonization of microorganisms, phagocytosis, cell adhesion and migration, cell activation and differentiation, and apoptosis.
