Browse commercial lectins by fold and specificity
Commercial lectins are extensively used in glycoconjugate characterisation, histochemistry, blood group typing and other applications. In this interactive table, a comprehensive list
of these lectins were first assigned to UniLectin structural classes and linked to their corresponding UniLectin entries. Further information on specificity was compiled from the lectin guides
of current vendors (Vector Laboratories, Glycodiag
and Wako) as well as the review by Bojar et al. (2022).
It was complemented via cross-links to glycan array data of the Consortium for Functional Glycomics (CFG) and to the
CarboGrove resource. Note that UniProt accession numbers refer to the most likely option, but corresponding amino acid sequences may slightly differ from that of the actual
commercial lectins. Suggestions for enriching this table are welcome.
