The primary structure of the newly sequence analysed placental tissue protein 13 (PP13)
was highly homologous to several members of the β-galactoside-binding S-type lectin …

Placental protein 13 (PP13) was cloned from human term placenta. As sequence analyses,
alignments and computational modelling showed its conserved structural and functional …

Abstract During pregnancy, placental protein-13 (galectin-13) is highly expressed in the
placenta and fetal tissue, and less so in maternal serum that is related to pre-eclampsia. To …

Galectins, a family of evolutionarily conserved animal lectins, have been shown to modulate
signaling processes leading to inflammation, apoptosis, immunoregulation, and …

The expression of prototype galectin‐14 (Gal‐14) in human placenta is higher than any
other galectin, suggesting that it may play a role in fetal development and regulation of …

Galectins are involved in many cellular processes due to their ability to bind carbohydrates.
Understanding their functions has shown the necessity for potent and specific galectin …

Galectins belong to the family of glycan-binding proteins, defined by at least one conserved
carbohydrate-recognition domain with a highly conserved amino acid sequence and affinity …

Knowledge about carbohydrate recognition domains of galectins, formerly known as S-type
animal lectins, is important in understanding their role (s) in cell− cell interactions. Here we …

Galectin‐8 is a tandem‐repeat‐type β‐galactoside‐specific animal lectin possessing N‐
terminal and C‐terminal carbohydrate recognition domains (N‐CRD and C‐CRD …

Galectins comprise a family of soluble β-galactoside-binding proteins, which regulate a
variety of key biological processes including cell growth, differentiation, survival, and death …
