The galectins are a family of beta-galactoside-binding proteins implicated in modulating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. LGALS4 is an S-type lectin that is strongly underexpressed in colorectal cancer. The 323-amino acid LGALS4 protein contains 2 homologous, approximately 150-amino acid carbohydrate recognition domains and all amino acids typically conserved in galectins. Gal 4 belongs to the family of galectin. Among various structure of galectins like dimeric, tandem or chimera, Gal-4 is tandem in its structure, so they contains at least two distinct carbohydrate recognising domains (CRD) within one polypeptide, thus are said to be intrinsically divalent. The CRDs are linked with a small peptide domain. Recommended name:Galectin-4, Short name: Gal-4 Alternative name(s): Gal-4 is generally found in stomach and intestine. Gal-4 has binding ability with high affinity to lipid rafts suggesting a role in protein delivery to cells Plus they can perform lots of Physiological functional as follows:
