Galectins
Galaptins | Lectins, S-Type | D-Galactoside-Binding Lectin | Galactose-Binding Lectin | Galectin | S-Type Lectin | S-Type Lectins | beta-D-Gal(1-3)D-GalNAc Specific Lectins | beta-D-Galactosyl-Specific Lectin | beta-Galactoside Binding Lectin
A class of animal lectins that bind specifically to beta-galactoside in a calcium-independent manner. Members of this class are distiguished from other lectins by the presence of a conserved carbohydrate recognition domain. The majority of proteins in this class bind to sugar molecules in a sulfhydryl-dependent manner and are often referred to as S-type lectins, however this property is not required for membership in this class. |
