"Discoidins" is a descriptor in the National Library of Medicine's controlled vocabulary thesaurus,
MeSH (Medical Subject Headings). Descriptors are arranged in a hierarchical structure,
which enables searching at various levels of specificity.
Lectins that were identified in DICTYOSTELIUM DISCOIDEUM. They bind to GALACTOSE and are involved in cell-substratum adhesion, maintenance of morphology during aggregation, and spore formation.
