Abstract excerpt
Galectins belong to a family of galactoside-binding proteins and exhibit diverse biological functions. In the present research, a tandem-repeat type galectin (named ToGalectin) was identified from obscure puffer Takifugu obscurus. The 296 amino acids ToGalectin contained two carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs), one of which possessed two conserved carbohydrate binding motifs. Phylogenetic analysis showed that...
