Functional Characterization of OXYL, A SghC1qDC LacNAc-specific Lectin from The Crinoid Feather Star <i>Anneissia Japonica</i>

Functional Characterization of OXYL, A SghC1qDC LacNAc-specific Lectin from The Crinoid Feather Star <i>Anneissia Japonica</i>

We identified a lectin (carbohydrate-binding protein) belonging to the complement 1q(C1q) family in the feather star <i>Anneissia japonica</i> (a crinoid pertaining to the phylum Echinodermata). The combination of Edman degradation and bioinformatics sequence analysis characterized the p...
