Intracellular galectins sense cytosolically exposed glycans as danger and mediate cellular responses
Abstract Galectins are animal lectins that recognize carbohydrates and play important roles in maintaining cellular homeostasis. Recent studies have indicated that under a variety of challenges, intracellular galectins bind to host glycans displayed on damaged endocytic vesicles and accumulate aroun...
