MLEC belongs to the malectin family and is localized on endoplasmic reticulum membrane. This protein is a carbohydrate-binding protein with a strong ligand preference for Glc2-N-glycan and may play a role in the early steps of protein N-glycosylation. Recombinant protein corresponding to aa29-269 from human MLEC, fused to His-tag at N-terminal expressed in E. coli.
