Visualization of Cytosolic Galectin Accumulation Around Damaged Vesicles and Organelles
Galectins are animal lectins that recognize β-galactoside and bind glycans. Recent studies have indicated that cytosolic galectins recognize cytosolically exposed glycans and accumulate around endocytic vesicl...

Galectins in Host Defense Against Microbial Infections
Galectins are differentially expressed in a variety of cell types, including immune cells, and characterized by the affinity for β-galactoside–containing glycans. There are fifteen galectin members in mammals....
