The Role of Galectins in Cervical Cancer Biology and Progression

Figure 1

Galectins are divided into three types according to their molecular structure: (1) prototype galectin (galectin-1, galectin-2, galectin-5, galectin-7, galectin-10, galectin-11, galectin-13, galectin-14, and galectin-15); (2) chimeric galectin (galectin-3); and (3) tandem repeat galectin (galectin-4, galectin-6, galectin-8, galectin-9, and galectin-12).
