UniProt functional annotation for P18673



	UniProt functional annotation for P18673

UniProt code: P18673.

Organism: Artocarpus integer (Jack fruit) (Artocarpus integrifolia).

Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; eudicotyledons; Gunneridae; Pentapetalae; rosids; fabids; Rosales; Moraceae; Artocarpus.

Function: D-galactose-specific lectin, binds the T-antigen structure Gal-beta1,3-GalNAc (Thomsen-Friedenreich-antigen-specific lectin). Potent and selective stimulant of distinct T- and B-cell functions. Shows a unique ability to specifically recognize IgA-1 from human serum.

Subunit: Tetramer of four alpha chains associated with two or four beta chains.

Similarity: Belongs to the jacalin lectin family. {ECO:0000305}.
