Galectinology of Equine Pregnancy
Animals, 2022 Galectins are a family of proteins that bind to glycans, acting in a cytokine-like manner throughout the body. In the majority of mammalians, galectins have been found to be involved in pregnancy maintenance, but few studies have evaluated this in the ...

Animal lectins as cell adhesion molecules [PDF]
, 1998 Protein-carbohydrate interaction is exploited in cell adhesion mechanisms besides the recognition of peptide motifs. The sugar code thus significantly contributes to the intriguing specificity of cellular selection of binding partners.

Galectin-1 as a predictive biomarker in ovarian cancer
Journal of Ovarian Research, 2021 Aim There is an urgent need to set up a useful biomarker for ovarian cancer. Galectin-1 is a promising carbohydrate-binding protein which plays a remarkable role in various malignancies yet its clinical significance is questionable.

“Supra”molecular Recognition of Galectin 1
Chemistry & Biology, 2007 In this issue of Chemistry & Biology, Belitsky et al. [1] elegantly describe the use of supramolecular complexes of sugars to multivalently target Galectin-1 (Gal-1), a lectin involved in the organization of cell surface glycoproteins, signaling, cell death, and cancer metastasis.

Galectin-1 links tumor hypoxia and radiotherapy [PDF]
Glycobiology, 2014 Radiation therapy is a main stay in treating solid tumors and plays a significant role in definitive and adjuvant therapy. Unfortunately, local control remains a challenge, in which the success of radiotherapy is largely dictated by tumor hypoxia, DNA damage repair and the antitumor immune response.

Enhanced Susceptibility of Galectin-1 Deficient Mice to Experimental Colitis
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Galectin-1 is a β-galactoside-binding lectin, ubiquitously expressed in stromal, epithelial, and different subsets of immune cells. Galectin-1 is the prototype member of the galectin family which shares specificity with β-galactoside containing proteins ...

Differentiation-dependent glycosylation of cells in squamous cell epithelia detected by a mammalian lectin [PDF]
, 2002 The squamous stratified epithelia contain a proliferative (harboring mitotic activity) and a differentiating compartment. Due to the potential of protein-carbohyd rate interactions to regulate cellular activities we introduced a mammalian lectin to cyto-
