En grupp animala lektiner som specifikt binder till beta-galaktosid, oberoende av kalcium. Medlemmarna i denna klass skiljer sig från andra lektiner genom att ha en bevarad domän för kolhydratigenkänning. Flertalet proteiner i denna klass binder till sockermolekyler på ett sulfhydrylberoende sätt och benämns S(-typ)-lektiner, men denna egenskap är inte nödvändig för att ingå i klassen.
A class of animal lectins that bind specifically to beta-galactoside in a calcium-independent manner. Members of this class are distiguished from other lectins by the presence of a conserved carbohydrate recognition domain. The majority of proteins in this class bind to sugar molecules in a sulfhydryl-dependent manner and are often referred to as S-type lectins, however this property is not required for membership in this class.
