FIGURE 28.2.

Arrangements of carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs) in lectins. Proteins containing just CRDs or CRDs associated with other types of functional domains, with membrane anchors or with oligomerization domains, are depicted schematically. A single lectin can contain all of these additional domains.
