Abstract excerpt
Maackia amurensis hemagglutinin (MAH) and leukoagglutinin (MAL) are leguminous lectins which recognize carbohydrate chains containing sialic acid residues linked alpha2,3 to penultimate galactose residues. In the present investigation, cDNA clones encoding MAL were isolated from a cDNA library constructed from germinated Maackia amurensis seeds and sequenced. From the reading frame of the cloned cDNAs, MAL was...
