mannan-binding lectin

mannan-binding lectin
(= MBL; formerly mannan-binding protein, MBP)
Plasma protein (32 kD) structurally related to complement C1, that binds specific carbohydrates (mannans) on the surface of various microorganisms including bacteria, yeasts, parasitic protozoa, and viruses; activates the complement cascade through MASP and promotes phagocytosis. Deficiency is associated with frequent infections in childhood.
