Malectin-A

UniProtKB accession:  Q6INX3

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  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.
