General description
Lens culinaris lectin (LcL) is a carbohydrate-binding protein found in lentil seeds. It is an anti-nutritional compound and a heterotetramer containing two α-chains and two β-chains.
Application
Lectin from Lens culinaris (lentil) has been used:
- to stain oocytes during immunofluorescence staining for the detection of cortical granules
- in fluorescence quantification study
- lectin-binding assay
Biochem/physiol Actions
LcH is not blood group specific. It has an affinity for terminal α-D-mannosyl and α-D-glucosyl residues. LcH is comprised of two isomers, LcH-A (mol. wt. 49,000) and LcH-B (mol. wt. 49,000). LcH-A is mitogenic. Conjugates are prepared from purified lectin.
Lectins are implicated in the degeneration of red blood corpuscles. Therefore, lectin-containing foods must be properly cooked before consumption. It exhibits anti-viral activity against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and its variants by blocking the binding of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) to the S-trimer protein of viruses. Lens culinaris lectin interacts with α-fetoprotein in the blood and serves as a potential marker for diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. It also finds its application in affinity chromatography for the identification of glycoconjugates.

The spike (S) protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) mutated continuously and newly emerging variants escape from antibody-mediated neutralization raised great concern. S protein is heavily glycosylated and the glycosylation sites are relatively conserved, thus glycans on
