| CHARACTERIZATION | |
| BIOACTIVITY | The lectin reacts with various glycoproteins, i.e., blood group substances, human parotid salivary glycoprotein, fetuin, and bovine submaxillary mucin. See: J Biochem (Tokyo) 1980 Feb;87(2):407-16 |

| SPECIFICITY | |
| INHIBITORS | Inhibition tests using the glycopeptide fragment from fetuin and some oligosaccharides, as well as the binding test with 14C-N-acetyl-lactosamine suggest that the sequence of D-galactose, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, and D-mannose residues in the carbohydrate |
