- Abstract
At least nine lectin families were identified, including fibrinogen-related domain-containing proteins (FreDs), C-type lectins, C1q domain-containing proteins, galectins, R-type lectins, F-type lectins, SUEL-type lectins, H-type lectins, and jacalin-type lectins. WCL is a rhamnose-binding lectin belonging to the SUEL-type lectin family, identified from white-spotted Charr ( I Salvelinus leucomaenis i ) eggs based on its primary structure. This Special Issue "Marine Glycomics" (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/marinedrugs/special%5fissues/Marine%5fGlycomics, accessed on 12 September 2022) provided new approaches and information on bioactive compounds, such as glycans and lectins from marine animals, seaweeds, and microorganisms for the application of clinical therapy and elucidation of the physiological functions of marine organisms. Interestingly, several unique features were identified in rotifer lectins, supporting the importance of expanding the range of organisms targeted by lectins research in order to elucidate their role in the future.
