Substrate reduction therapy is FDA approved and there is at least one treatment available on the market. [10] Gene therapy aims to replace a missing protein in the body through the use of vectors, usually viral vectors. [11] In gene therapy, a gene encoding for a certain protein is inserted into a vector. [11]
A C-type lectin (CLEC) is a type of carbohydrate-binding protein known as a lectin. [3] The C-type designation is from their requirement for calcium for binding. [ 4 ] Proteins that contain C-type lectin domains have a diverse range of functions including cell-cell adhesion, immune response to pathogens and apoptosis .
Stillmark isolated ricin, an extremely toxic hemagglutinin, from seeds of the castor plant (Ricinus communis). The first lectin to be purified on a large scale and available on a commercial basis was concanavalin A, which is now the most-used lectin for characterization and purification of sugar-containing molecules and cellular structures. [36]
Parainfluenza hemagglutinin-neuraminidase: a type of hemagglutinin-neuraminidase produced by parainfluenza, which is closely associated with both human and veterinary disease. [17] Mumps hemagglutinin-neuraminidase: a kind of hemagglutinin that the mumps virus (MuV) produces. [18] Hemagglutinin: the PH-E form of phytohaemagglutinin.
GDEPT is a suicide gene therapy in which the enzyme required for prodrug conversion is produced within the target cell, using a gene delivered to it by gene therapy. When an adequate differential exists between the targeted cell and endogenous tissue, non-toxic prodrug is administered and is subsequently converted into its toxic form within the ...
AFP can be fractionated by affinity electrophoresis into three glycoforms: L1, L2, and L3 based on the reactivity with the lectin Lens culinaris agglutinin (LCA). AFP-L3 binds strongly to LCA via an additional α 1-6 fucose residue attached at the reducing terminus of N-acetylglucosamine; this is in contrast to the L1 isoform.
In molecular biology, the galactose binding lectin domain is a protein domain. It is found in many proteins including the lectin purified from sea urchin ( Anthocidaris crassispina ) eggs, SUEL. This lectin exists as a disulfide -linked homodimer of two subunits; the dimeric form is essential for hemagglutination activity. [ 1 ]
