Galectin-3 is a versatile protein orchestrating several physiological and pathophysiological
processes in the human body. In the last decade, considerable interest in galectin-3 has …

Galectins, an ancient lectin family, are characterized by specific binding of β-galactosides
through evolutionary conserved sequence elements of carbohydrate-recognition domain …

Many galectin family members are detected primarily intracellularly in most of the systems
studied, although certain members can be found both inside and outside of cells. Specific …

Galectin-3 is a mammalian β-galactoside-binding protein that is expressed by various types
of human cells. Changes in galectin-3 expression and subcellular and intercellular …

Galectins are a family of mammalian carbohydrate-binding proteins expressed by many cell
