More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: A specific mannose-binding member of the collectin family of lectins. It binds to carbohydrate groups on invading pathogens and plays a key role in the MANNOSE-BINDING LECTIN COMPLEMENT PATHWAY.  MANNOSE-BINDING LECTINS is also available; see SCR for species specific terms; analogs & homologs are not MANNOSE-BINDING LECTINS    Other names Mannose Binding Protein; Mannose Binding Lectin; Mannan Binding Protein; Mannan Binding Lectin; Lectin, Mannose-Binding; Lectin, Mannan-Binding; Mannose-Binding Protein; Mannan-Binding Protein; Mannan-Binding Lectin
