mlec-a

Gene
mlec-a
Protein
Malectin-A
Organism
Xenopus laevis
Length
276 amino acids
Function
Carbohydrate-binding protein with a strong ligand preference for Glc2-N-glycan. May play a role in the early steps of protein N-glycosylation. Can bind di- or higher oligomers but not monomers of glucose, including maltose, maltotriose, maltotetraose, maltoheptaose, nigerose, kojibose, cellobiose and isomaltose, although based on their subcellular locations, these are unlikely to all be physiological ligands.
Similarity
Belongs to the malectin family.
