Properties
Description
Lentinan-wheat germ agglutinin, termed wheat germ agglutinin-lentinan, embodies a strategically developed conjugate integrating lectin proteins with lentinan's β-glucan matrix. This molecular fusion maintains the triple-helix architecture to amplify cancer-suppressive effects via thymus-regulated immunological cascades.
Glycan Structure
Its glycan structure is a β-(1→3)-linked d-glucose backbone with β-(1→6)-glucosyl side branches.
