| Application: | Mannan from Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been used to coat the microtiter wells to quantify the levels of mannose-binding lectin (MBL) using a mannan-binding enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). |
| Application: | Mannan from Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been used in a study to assess nonopsonic uptake of Mycobacterium avium complex by human monocytes and alveolar macrophages. It has also been used in a study to investigate new lectins from bulbs of Croccus sativum. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Mannan exhibits several biological properties, including antiproliferative, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory. It is used as a hardener ingredient and as an emulsion stabilizer. Mannan is also involved in the inhibition of pathogen adherence, regulation of bacterial growth, and enhancement of the immune response. |
| General description: | Mannan is the main component of yeast cell wall polysaccharides broadly present in nature, such as in plants, bacteria, yeasts, and other organisms. It comprises a highly branched complex carbohydrate, an α-1,6 backbone with α-1,2- and α-1,3-attached mannose side chains. |
