โฆ Synopsis
Although united by their defining feature of carbohydrate binding activity, plant lectins show great diversity in carbohydrate specificity, structure and function. Some of these proteins also exhibit other activities such as enzyme activity or the ability to bind plant hormones. This Chapter provides an overview of our present state of knowledge of the activities and structures of these lectins and discusses the current state of our information and hypotheses on the roles these proteins may play in the plant.

Sialidases, also known as neuraminidases, catalyze the removal of terminal sialic acids from a variety of glycoconjugates. In animals, sialic acids are involved in a number of functions related to cell adhesion and cell survival and also the modulation of many cellular processes. The ubiquity and un
