UniProt functional annotation for A7XUK7

UniProt code: A7XUK7.

Organism: Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (White mold) (Whetzelinia sclerotiorum).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Pezizomycotina; Leotiomycetes; Helotiales; Sclerotiniaceae; Sclerotinia.
 
Function: Lectin that primarily recognizes glycans with a non-reducing terminal N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc), with a preference for the alpha-over the beta-anomer. Can also bind non-reducing terminal galactose (Gal) residues but with a lower affinity. Strongly interacts with glycolipid type glycans with terminal non-reducing Gal or GalNAc but fails to bind sialylated or fucosylated forms of the same glycans. Strongly interacts with galactosylated N-glycans, displaying highest affinity for alpha-1-3 branched mono-antennary N-glycans but also binding to multi-antennary glycans. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12901882, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17294128, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20566411}.
 
Subunit: Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12901882, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20566411}.
Mass spectrometry: Mass=16618; Mass_error=2; Method=Electrospray; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:12901882};
