The Many Roles of Galectin-3, a Multifaceted Molecule, in Innate Immune Responses against Pathogens

Galectins are a group of evolutionarily conserved proteins with the ability to bind β-galactosides through characteristic carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRD). Galectin-3 is structurally unique among all galectins as it contains a C-terminal CRD linked to an N-terminal protein-binding domain, bein...
