The crystal structure of novel mammalian lectin Ym1 suggests a saccharide binding site
| ||||||||||||
Structural highlights
FunctionCHIL3_MOUSE Lectin that binds saccharides with a free amino group, such as glucosamine or galactosamine. Binding to oligomeric saccharides is much stronger than binding to mono- or disaccharides. Also binds chitin and heparin. Has weak hexosaminidase activity but no chitinase activity. Has chemotactic activity for T-lymphocytes, bone marrow cells and eosinophils. May play a role in inflammation and allergy.[1] [2] [3] Evolutionary ConservationCheck, as determined by ConSurfDB.
