Biological process

Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a lectin stimulus. A lectin is a carbohydrate-binding protein, highly specific for binding sugar moieties.

This term refers to endogenous (evolved) responses to lectins (endogenous or exogenous), it does not cover the events that happen due to lectin toxicity.
