I am working on cloning the lactose/galactose (galectin) binding lectin in my insect model of coleopteran system. Apart from the mass spectrometry based results, if I can retrieve the database (NCBI) available amino acid sequences of Gal binding lectins from coleopteran order and others as well (confirming with necessary motifs), to design the gene specific primer , will it be reliable enough?

If yes, do I need to segregate the protein in species wise manner as size varies sometimes which leads to misalignment in clustalW?
