Galectin

Galectin

Galectins comprise a family of soluble β-galactoside binding proteins, which regulate key biological processes including cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis, and immune responses.

Sixteen galectin genes have been identified in animal kingdoms, 12 of which are expressed in humans.Galectins are typically divided into three groups based on their structural characteristics: (i) prototypical galectins (Galectin-1 (Gal1), Gal2, Gal5, Gal7, Gal10, Gal11, Gal 13, Gal14, and Gal15), which are characterized by asingle CRD and can function as monomers or form homodimers; (ii) the chimeric galectin Gal3 (the only member of this class), which has asingle CRD and a Galectins have recently been linked to important therapeutic factors that affect whether a variety of anticancer treatment modalities, such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapies, antiangiogenic therapies, and immunotherapies are effective or ineffective.
