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.
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.
