Fungal lectins belong to the family of carbohydrate-binding proteins with no enzymatic activity. Fungal lectins are widely found in different species and are a class of Natural Lectins. CD BioGlyco provides fungal lectin production services and includes lectin localization, biochemical properties, and activity assays.

Applications of Fungal Lectin

• Fungal lectins mediate host recognition necessary for ectomycorrhizal symbiosis and interfere with fungal growth and development.
• Fungal lectins are used as a potent marker in the development of inflammatory and cancer drugs. Because many fungal lectins bind with high specificity to glycoconjugates on the surface of human cells.
• Fungal lectins play a role in collective defense, protecting reproductive structures from other animals through immune activity.
• Fungal lectins produce soluble lectins involved in host recognition and are capable of triggering signaling pathways leading to lung inflammation.
• Fungal lectins specifically bind oligosaccharides on the surface of cancer cells and are efficient tools for diagnostic drug delivery.
• Highly specific binding properties of fungal lectins as an effective tool for analyzing glycomics and immunology.

CD BioGlyco provides reliable, high-purity natural lectin isolation and purification services from three main sources: Plant, Animal, and fungal. In addition, we also provide Recombinant Lectin Production services. We have a professional technical team and multiple glycobiology platforms to ensure product and service quality.
