| CHARACTERIZATION | Results indicate that the lectin recognizes the penultimate galactose residue in a hapten molecule in contrast to usual galactose-binding proteins or galactose-specific lectins, which recognize exposed, terminal galactose residues of sugar chains |
| BIOACTIVITY | |
| SOURCE TISSUE | |
| SPECIFICITY | |
| INHIBITORS | The lectin is strongly inhibited by the desialylated bovine erythrocyte glycoprotein, which contains galactose beta 1-3galactose beta-sequence at the nonreducing termini of the sugar chains, whereas disialylated orosomucoid did not inhibit the lectin. |
