Popis: Bivalve lectins perform a crucial function in recognition of foreign particles, such as microalgae and pathogenic bacteria. In this study, a novel C-type lectin form Sinonovacula constricta (ScCL) was characterized. The full-length cDNA of ScCL was 1645 bp, encoding a predicted polypeptide of 273 amino acids with one typical carbohydrate-recognition domain. ScCL has the highest similarity and closest phylogenetic relationship with the C-type lectin from Solen grandis. Real-time PCR analysis showed that ScCL was expressed in all tested tissues, with the highest expression in the foot and the lowest expression in hemocytes. Agglutination activity of ScCL was Ca
