Abstract excerpt

The basic disaccharide structure recognized by galectin family members is the lactosamine-like structure Galbeta1-4(3)Glc(NAc). The 32-kDa galectin LEC-1 of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is composed of two domains, each of which is homologous to vertebrate 14-kDa-type galectins. The N-termi...
