A chitooligosaccharide-specific lectin has been purified from the phloem exudate of cucumber (cucumis sativus) by affinity chromatography on chitin.the molecular weight of the cucumber phloem lectin (cpl) was determined as 51912.8 da by mass spectrometry whereas sds-page yielded a single band with a subunit mass of 26 kda, indicating that the protein is a homodimer.. Wheat germ contains one of the types of lectin that isn’t destroyed during digestion. fruits and vegetables tomatoes contain lectin, and so do potatoes, sweet potatoes, zucchini, carrots, rhubarb, beets, mushrooms, asparagus, turnips, cucumbers, pumpkin, sweet peppers and radishes.. Vegetables such as cucumbers, tomatoes and potatoes contain a special protein known as lectin, which researchers say could contribute to alzheimer’s diseaseaccording to a recent report published by ndtv, lectin is essentially a defense mechanism for the aforementioned vegetables..

In a rare win for goop, experts who normally ridicule the site agreed lectins are dangerous, after dr steven gundry said there is a link between memory loss and a protein in cucumbers.. The identification of lectin sequences in cucumber also allowed the discovery of several chimeric proteins composed of a lectin domain and a toxin domain. in type 2 rips the ricin b lectin domain is linked to an n-glycosidase domain ( puri et al., 2012 )..
