Inhibition experiments with D-mannose oligosaccharides establish that conglutinin recognises terminal α1-2 mannobiosyl units present in the glycopeptide of the alpha-chain of the complement component C3b. On the basis of its three domain structure and the homology of its N-terminal amino-acid sequence to that of the dog pulmonary surfactant protein, it is proposed that conglutinin is a member of the hepatic lectin family.
