Molecular structure of
Giant clam:Tridacnin
|
Hippopus hippopus
|
| Lecster ID:281 | Edit Entry |
| Source Organism: | Giant clam |
| Species: | Hippopus hippopus |
| Common Nomenclature: | Tridacnin |
| Class: | C-lectin |
| Index Nomenclature: | LECi.Hip.Hip.xx.Xxxx |
| Characterization Notes: | This is a C-Type lectin found in the haemolymph of all tridacnids. First discovered by Uhlenbruck and coworkers in the haemolymph of a range of giant clams, it has a molecular mass in excess of 400,000 with subunits of 25 kDa. It is a glycoprotein with N-glycan side chains. N-deglycosylation leaves a subunit with a molecular mass of 20 kDa. The N-glycan chains are of the high mannose type (1) and indications are that there is microheterogeneity. |
