Galectin-2, Galectins-5 and -9, and Galectins-4 and -6.
Trends in Glycoscience and Glycotechnology, 1997 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 is essential for efficient liver regeneration following hepatectomy [PDF]
, 2016 Galectin-1 (Gal1) is a known immune/inflammatory regulator which actsboth extracellularly and intracellularly, modulating innate and adaptive immuneresponses. Here, we explored the role of Gal1 in liver regeneration using 70% partial hepatectomy (PHx) of

Role of Galectin in Cardiovascular Conditions including Cirrhotic Cardiomyopathy
Pharmaceuticals, 2023 Abnormal cardiac function in the setting of cirrhosis and in the absence of a primary cardiac disease is known as cirrhotic cardiomyopathy. The pathogenesis of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy is multifactorial but broadly is comprised of two pathways. The first

Regulation of eosinophilia and allergic airway inflammation by the glycan-binding protein galectin-1 [PDF]
, 2016 Galectin-1 (Gal-1), a glycan-binding protein with broad antiinflammatory activities, functions as a proresolving mediator in autoimmune and chronic inflammatory disorders. However, its role in allergic airway inflammation has not yet been elucidated.

médecine/sciences, 2015 Galectins constitute a family of soluble animal lectins defined by their evolutionary conserved carbohydrate recognition domain and their affinity for β-galactosides containing glycoconjugates. Each galectin is characterized by a specific spatio-temporal distribution and a unique set of ligands and molecular partners. Interestingly, galectins are found

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Electrostatically layered nanoparticles (NPs) coated with anionic polypeptides selectively target cancer cells by engaging amino acid transporters. Poly(L‐glutamate) (PLE) coatings cluster the glutamine transporter SLC1A5, prolonging NP surface retention, while poly(L‐aspartate) (PLD) coatings also bind SLC1A3, potentially promoting faster ...
