| Source Organism: | Crab |
| Species: | Cancer antennarius |
| Common Nomenclature: | |
| Class: | |
| Index Nomenclature: | LECi.Can.Ant.xx.Xsi1 |
| Characterization Notes: | |
| Biological Activity: | The specificity of the lectin for O-acetylsialic acids appears to account for the fact that it agglutinates mouse, rat, rabbit, and horse erythrocytes, which contain O-acetylsialic acids on cell surface glycoconjugates, but not human monkey, sheep, goat, and chicken erythrocytes which contain only NeuAc or N-glycolylneuraminic acid (NeuGc). |
| Source Tissue: | |
| Specificity: | Sialic acid-binding lectin with high specificity for 9-O-acetyl- and 4-O-acetylsialic acids |
| Inhibitors: | |
| References: | J Biol Chem 1985 Jul 25;260(15):8850-6 |
