Galectins and Their Ligand Glycoconjugates in the Central Nervous System Under Physiological and Pathological Conditions
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. This review summarizes the current knowledge of the cellular expres...
