In molecular biology the fungal fucose-specific lectin family is a family of lectins. Lectins are proteins which are involved in many recognition events at the molecular or cellular level. These fungal lectins such as Aleuria aurantia lectin AAL specifically recognise fucosylated glycans. AAL is a dimeric protein with each monomer being organised into a six-bladed beta-propeller fold and a small antiparallel two-stranded beta-sheet.
