Galectins are a family of proteins that bind to specific glycans thereby deciphering the
information captured within the glycome. In the last two decades, several galectin family …

Galectins are soluble glycan-binding proteins that interact with a wide range of glycoproteins
and glycolipids and modulate a broad spectrum of physiological and pathological …

Aptamer-based proteomics revealed differentially abundant proteins in Alzheimer's disease
(AD) brains in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging and Religious Orders Study (mean …

Galectins (Gals), a family of mammalian lectins, have emerged as key regulators of the
immune response, being implicated in several physiologic and pathologic conditions. Lately …

Abstract Galectin-8 (Gal-8), a 'tandem-repeat'-type galectin, has been described as a
modulator of cellular functions including adhesion, spreading, growth arrest, apoptosis …

Galectin-8 (Gal-8) belongs to a family of animal lectins that modulate cell adhesion, cell
proliferation, apoptosis, and immune responses. Recent studies have shown that …

Galectins are among organisms' most abundantly expressed lectins (carbohydrate‐binding
proteins) that specifically bind β‐galactosides. They act not only outside the cell, where they …

Because of their ability to induce local immunosuppression and to confer cancer cells with
resistance to apoptosis, members of the galectin family are emerging as a new class of …

Galectin-8 (Gal-8) is a tandem-repeat type galectin with affinity for β-galactosides, bearing
two carbohydrate recognition domains (CRD) connected by a linker peptide. The N-and C …

Secreted animal lectins of the galectin family are key players in cancer growth and
metastasis. Here we show that galectin-8 (gal-8) induces the expression and secretion of …
