Lectin [Glycoscience] — includes lectins with specific sugar specificity such as fucose, along with related monosaccharides, branched oligosaccharides, and glycan conjugates, which serve as tools for recognizing specific carbohydrate structures in glycoscience and glycobiology research.
Fucose-specific lectins and their derivatives are used for glycan profiling on cell surfaces or glycoproteins through bead-based or biotin-conjugate approaches. Related oligosaccharides and monosaccharides serve as reference compounds for binding affinity testing and lectin specificity validation. This category is widely used by glycobiology and biotechnology researchers studying the role of glycans in biomolecular interactions.
