Mannose/glucose-specific lectin that also binds derivatives N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and alpha-methyl-D-mannopyranoside with even higher affinity (Ref.2, PubMed:26946944). Has hemagglutinating activity towards rabbit erythrocytes (Ref.2). Is toxic towards brine shrimp A.nauplii (Ref.2). In rats, induces dose-dependent paw edema (PubMed:26946944). Optimum pH is 6-7 for hemagglutinating activity. Activity drops rapidly at lower or higher pH. Thermostable. Retains hemagglutinating activity after incubation at 70 degrees Celsius for 1 hour. At higher temperatures activity drops drastically and is lost at 100 degrees Celsius. Homodimer. LD(50) is 33.56 ug/ml against A.nauplii. Hemagglutinating activity is not inhibited by D-arabinose, D-fructose, D-fucose, D-galactose, D-xylose, alpha-methyl-D-glactopyranoside, carrageenan, lactose or mucin. Belongs to the leguminous lectin family.
