Lectins isolated from numerous plants, bacteria, and animals including marine invertebrates are now known to represent proteins and glycoproteins of the non-immune system. Owing to their unique properties to bind carbohydrates and sugar determinants of biopolymers with a higher avidity, lectins are
A sialic acid-binding lectin, Achatinin n (ATNH) , having unique specificity towards 9-0acetylneuraminic acid, has been purified and characterized. The specificity of this lectin for O-acetylsialic acids was studied in detail, using various sialic acid derivatives and sialoglycoproteins. The potent
