Abstract
The present disclosure provides a novel family of C-type lectins from vertebrates. As specifically exemplified, this family of lectins includes a melibiose-specific lectin (XL35) from Xenopus laevis oocytes, and two human lectins, HL-3 and HL-13, specifically expressed in endothelial cells such as blood vessels, stomach, small intestine, heart and tissue and in small intestine, respectively. Amino acid sequences of the lectin proteins are provided herein, together with the nucleotide sequences encoding these proteins.
