Abstract
N-Acetyl-D-galactosamine in β-linkage being ubiquitous in cell surface
glycoproteins, their interaction with lectins specific for this sugar moiety may be a significant
event in cell adhesion phenomena. This article discusses the common β-N-acetyl
galactosamine-specific lectins, with particular stress on the lectin from winged beans
(Psophocarpus tetragonolobus).
