Polyandrocarpa misakiensis

| Lecster ID:538 | Edit Entry |
| Source Organism: | Tunicate |
| Species: | Polyandrocarpa misakiensis |
| Common Nomenclature: | |
| Class: | C-lectin |
| Index Nomenclature: | LECi.Pol.Mis.xx.Xga1 |
| Characterization Notes: | The amino acid sequence of Polyandrocarpa lectin shows about 20-30% homology with those of fly, barnacle, sea urchin, and several vertebrate lectins that belong to C-type lectin (Drickamer, K. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 9557-9560). Although the physiological role of Polyandrocarpa lectin is not clear, preliminary experiments suggest that the lectin may be related to defense mechanisms because it has a strong antibacterial activity. |
