Bulb-type mannose-specific lectin. The domain contains a three-fold internal repeat (beta-prism architecture). The consensus sequence motif QXDXNXVXY is involved in alpha-D-mannose recognition. Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins which specifically recognize diverse carbohydrates and mediate a wide variety of biological processes, such as cell-cell and host-pathogen interactions, serum glycoprotein turnover, and innate immune responses.
