Zoonotic Cryptosporidium Parasites Possess a Unique Carbohydrate-binding Protein (Malectin) that is Absent in other Apicomplexan Lineages

Malectin is a carbohydrate-binding protein that binds Glc(2)- N -glycan and is present in animals and some alveolates. This study aimed to characterize the general molecular and biochemical features of Cryptosporidium parvum malectin (CpMal). Polyclonal antibodies were raised for detecting native...
