Preferred Term:

galectinas

Definition:
Lectinas animales que se unen específicamente al beta-galactósido sin depender del calcio. Se distinguen de otras lectinas por la presencia de un dominio de reconocimiento de carbohidratos conservado. La mayoría de las proteínas de esta clase se unen a moléculas de azúcar de forma dependiente del sulfhidrilo, por lo que a menudo se les denomina lectinas tipo S; no obstante, esta propiedad no es un requisito para pertenecer a este grupo.
