UniProtKB description: Seed lectin similar to type 2 ribosome-inactivating proteins (PubMed:23897472, PubMed:11375527). The Aalpha and Abeta chains constitute the rRNA glycosidase domain and the B chain the carbohydrate-binding lectin domain (PubMed:23897472). Is predicted to have no glycosidase activity and, hence, to be non-toxic, due to small changes in both the nucleotide binding and carbohydrate binding capabilities (PubMed:23897472, PubMed:11375527). Binds galactose and derivatives with a preference for the beta-anomeric forms (PubMed:8799450, PubMed:10877067). Binds prophyrins (PubMed:10877067). Has hemagglutinating activity towards rabbit and human erythrocytes (PubMed:8799450, PubMed:10877067).
