The Galectin Family as Molecular Targets: Hopes for Defeating Pancreatic Cancer

11 Mar 2020

Abstract excerpt

Galectins are a family of proteins that bind β-galactose residues through a highly conserved carbohydrate recognition domain. They regulate several important biological functions, including cell proliferation, adhesion, migration, and invasion, and play critical roles during embryonic development and cell differentiation. In adults, different galectin members are expressed depending on the tissue type and can be...
