Galectins are a family of animal lectins with diverse biological activities. They function both
extracellularly, by interacting with cell-surface and extracellular matrix glycoproteins and …

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

Galectin 3 is a member of a family of β-galactoside binding proteins and has emerged as an
important regulator of diverse functions critical in cancer biology including apoptosis …

Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is an evolutionarily conserved and multifunctional protein that drives
inflammation in disease. Gal-3's role in the central nervous system has been less studied …

Galectin-3 is a member of the family of β-galactoside-binding lectins characterized by
evolutionarily conserved sequences defined by structural similarities in their carbohydrate …

Galectin-3 has been suspected of modulating cell to extracellular matrix interactions in a
novel fashion ever since it was first described. However, the rapid accumulation of research …

Galectin-3, the only chimera galectin found in vertebrates, is one of the best-studied
galectins. It is expressed in several cell types and is involved in a broad range of …

Introduction The rising incidence of liver diseases is a worldwide healthcare concern.
However, the therapeutic options to manage chronic inflammation and fibrosis, the …

The galectins are a family of proteins that are distributed widely in all living organisms. All of
them share galactose-specificity. At present, 14 members of the family are characterized in …

ABSTRACT The 37/67‐kDa laminin receptor (LAMR/RPSA) was originally identified as a 67‐
kDa binding protein for laminin, an extracellular matrix glycoprotein that provides cellular …
