N2  - Hevein, a lectin-like protein is the major protein of vacuolar structures called lutoids in the latexs of rubber trees. In planta and explanta studies showed that hevein is involved in the coagulation of latex by bringing together rubber particles. This polyvalent bridging between hevein and rubber particles is mediated by N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and involves a receptor glycoprotein of 22 kDa, which is localized on the surface of the rubber particles. The proposed role of hevein helps elucidate the mechanism of latex coagulation and assigns a physiological intracellular function to one of the smallest lectins
