A sialic acid-binding lectin from the mushroom Hericium erinaceum.
A lectin was isolated from the mushroom Hericium erinaceum. This lectin is composed of two different subunits of 15 and 16 kDa and the molecular mass of the intact lectin was estimated to be 54 kDa by gel filtration. It exhibits specificity towards sialic acids, especially N-glycolylneuraminic acid.
