CHARACTERIZATION
BIOACTIVITYThe seeds of Vicia cracca are known to contain two lectins: an N-acetylgalactosamine-binding lectin, which reacts specifically with human erythrocytes of blood group A, and a mannose/glucose-binding lectin unspecific towards human blood groups. See also: Biochim Biophys Acta 1980 Apr 25;622(2):337-43
SOURCE TISSUE
SPECIFICITYThe mannose/glucose-binding lectin from Vicia cracca is highly homologous to the lectins from Vicia sativa, Vicia faba, Pisum sativum and Lens culinaris. There is, however, only limited homology of the N-acetylgalactosamine-specific lectin from Vicia cracca.
