Diversified Biomineralization Roles of <i>Pteria penguin</i> Pearl Shell Lectins as Matrix Proteins

Diversified Biomineralization Roles of <i>Pteria penguin</i> Pearl Shell Lectins as Matrix Proteins

Previously, we isolated jacalin-related lectins termed PPL2, PPL3 (PPL3A, 3B and 3C) and PPL4 from the mantle secretory fluid of <i>Pteria penguin</i> (Mabe) pearl shell. They showed the sequence homology with the plant lectin family, jacalin-related β-prism fold lectins (JRLs). While PP...
