Extracts of adult chicken liver, pancreas, and intestine contain high levels of a lectin which appears to be identical to one previously purified from embryonic chick muscle. This lectin is virtually absent from adult muscle, but is highly concentrated in cells lining liver sinusoids, intestinal goblet cells, and the extracellular spaces surrounding pancreatic acini. These findings suggest that the lectin may play different roles in different tissues and at different times in the life of a chicken.
成年鸡肝脏、胰腺和肠道的提取物中含有高水平的一种凝集素,这种凝集素似乎与先前从胚胎鸡肌肉中纯化出来的一种凝集素相同。这种凝集素在成年肌肉中几乎不存在,但在肝血窦内衬细胞、肠道杯状细胞以及胰腺腺泡周围的细胞外间隙中高度浓缩。这些发现表明,这种凝集素在鸡的不同组织以及生命中的不同时期可能发挥不同的作用。
