C-type lectins are a family of proteins with carbohydrate-binding activity. Several C-type lectins in mammals or arthropods are employed as receptors or attachment factors to facilitate flavivirus invasion. We previously identified a C-type lectin in Aedes aegypti. designated as mosquito galactose specific C-type lectin-1 (mosGCTL-1). https://www.lorenametaute.com/
