The role of galectins in immunity and infection - Nature Galectins can be located in the nucleus or the cytoplasm, or can be secreted into the extracellular space They can modulate innate and adaptive immune cells by binding to glycans on the surface
Galectins - Essentials of Glycobiology - NCBI Bookshelf Galectins are among the most widely expressed class of lectins in all organisms They typically bind β-galactose-containing glycoconjugates and share primary structural homology in their carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs)
Galectins: Current Biology - Cell Press Galectins are β-galactoside-binding animal lectins that contain one or two conserved carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs) consisting of approximately 130 amino acids
The role of galectins in immunity and infection - PubMed Galectins can be located in the nucleus or the cytoplasm, or can be secreted into the extracellular space They can modulate innate and adaptive immune cells by binding to glycans on the surface of immune cells or intracellularly via carbohydrate-dependent or carbohydrate-independent interactions
