Research advances on biological functions of galectin-7

Abstract

Abstract: Galectins construct a family of animal lectins for β-galactosides, which are widely distributed from living nematodes to mammals and other living organisms,participating in various biological processes, such as cell-cell adhesion, growth regulation and immune response.Galectin-7, one of the most important member of the family is closely related to the differentiation and maturation of epithelial tissues, the proliferation of injured epidermis, the development of tumors and the immunity of body.

Key words: galectin-7, re-epithelialization, apoptosis, immunology
