Leguminous lectin family proteolytically processed to produce two chains, beta (which corresponds to the N-terminal) and alpha (C-terminal). The lectin concanavalin A (conA) from jack bean is exceptional in that the two chains are transposed and ligated (by formation of a new peptide bond). The N terminus of mature conA thus corresponds to that of the alpha chain and the C terminus to the beta chain. Leguminous lectin family In molecular biology, the leguminous lectin family is a family of lectin proteins. It is one of the largest lectin families with more than 70 lectins reported in a review in 1990. Leguminous lectins
Keratin 6A encoded by separate genes located within the type II keratin gene cluster on human chromosome 12q. It is found with keratin 16 and/or keratin 17 in the palm and sole epidermis, the epithelial cells of the nail bed, the filiform papillae of the tongue, the epithelial lining of oral mucosa and esophagus, as well as the hair follicles. This keratin 6 isoform is thought to be the most abundant of the K6 isoforms. The "KRT6A" gene consists of 9 exons separated by 8 introns and is located in the type II keratin gene cluster on human "chromosome" 12q. Keratin 6B
