description | ZG16 is a soluble mammalian lectin with a Jacalin-related β-prism-fold that binds both to glycosaminoglycans and mannose []. ZG16 has roles in both the luminal side of the pancreatic zymogen granule membrane (ZGM) and in the mucus layer of the digestive system []. In the ZGM, it functions in the formation of zymogen granules via glycosaminoglycan binding [, , ]. In the digestive system, it seems to be involved in alpha-mannose-related recognition of pathogens []. |
