Lectins are ubiquitous in nature, present in plants, animals, viruses and microorganisms. Lectins are defined as carbohydrate-binding proteins that are highly specific for sugar groups and thus cause agglutination of particular cells or precipitation of glycoconjugates and polysaccharides. CD BioGlyco has launched a wide range of lectin-related products, including lectin, lectin buffers, lectin kits, anti-lectin antibodies, lectin-coated microplates, and lectin columns. These products have become increasingly important tools in the field of molecular and cell biology for studying glycoproteins and carbohydrates.
