Characterization of MytiGal: a galactose-binding lectin in the immune response of Mytilus coruscus - insights from sequence analysis, expression patterns, and bioactivities
{{output}}
Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins that function as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) in animal innate immune system. Although invertebrates like mussels lack adaptive immune cells, they still mount pathogen-specific responses through rapidly recogni... ...
