Galectins are β-galactoside-binding lectins consisting of 15 members in mammals. Galectin-1,-3,-4,-8, and -9 are predominantly expressed in the central nervous system (CNS) and regulate various physiological and pathological events.

Microglia-Secreted Galectin-3 Acts as a Toll-like Receptor 4 Ligand and Contributes to Microglial Activation. [PDF]
Inflammatory response induced by microglia plays a critical role in the demise of neuronal populations in neuroinflammatory diseases. Although the role of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in microglia's inflammatory response is fully acknowledged, little is ...

Galectins are a family of animal lectins with an affinity for beta-galactosides. They are differentially expressed by various tissues and appear to be functionally multivalent, exerting a wide range of biological activities both during development and in adult tissue.

Galectin-2, Galectins-5 and -9, and Galectins-4 and -6.
現在、哺乳類には10種類のガレクチンがあることが示されている。この章ではそのうち5つについて、各ガレクチンの発見の経緯と特徴について述べようと思う。ガレクチン-2はガレクチン-1と同様、14kDaのサブユニットが2量体構造をした分子で、腸上皮細胞に発現している。ガレクチン-5は15kDaの単量体ガレクチンで、赤血球に発現している。最近発見されたガレクチン-9は多くの組織で発現している36kDaのタンパク質で、2つの糖認識ドメイン (CRD) からなり、このうちC-末端側のCRDがガレクチン-5と非常に高い類似性を示す。ガレクチン-4と-6は互いにきわめて似た分子で、それぞれ36kDaと34kDaの分子量を持ち、やはりともに2つのCRDからなり、両者とも消化管の上皮細胞で発現している。

Galectin-1 immunofluorescent staining.
Nuclei are labeled by Hoescht stain (blue, left panels). Gall bladder neuroendocrine neoplasm demonstrates positive galectin-1 (red, middle and right top panels) immunofluorescence compared to negative control (normal canine kidney).

The Role of Anti-Viral Effector Molecules in Mollusc Hemolymph
Molluscs are major contributors to the international and Australian aquaculture industries, however, their immune systems remain poorly understood due to limited access to draft genomes and evidence of divergences from model organisms.
