Several Lectins Are Chimeric Proteins Composed of a Lectin Domain and Another Unrelated Domain (often: toxin domain).
Three Types of Lectins: Siglecs, Galectins, and Selectins
Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins of non-immune origin.
Lectins are a structurally diverse class of proteins, their only common features being the ability to bind carbohydrates specifically and reversibly, and to agglutinate cells.
Some, however, can be grouped together into distinct families, such as those of the legumes or the cereals that are structur…
