Abstract:Galectins are β-galactoside binding proteins currently represented by 15 members (Galectin-1 through Galectin-15). The members are differentiated on the basis of the number of carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs), the linker region connecting dual CRDs, and the conserved amino acid (aa) residues within CRDs. In this study, galactosyl-binding lectin family proteins were screened and characterized from transcriptome of terrestrial slug Incilaria fruhstorferi using bioinformatics analysis. I. fruhstorferi unig… Show more
