Table 1. Galectin–glycoprotein lattices that regulate cell functions.

Shown are galectin receptor glycoproteins that have been proposed to participate in lattice formation. This does not constitute a comprehensive list of galectin-binding glycoproteins. DPPIV, dipeptidyl peptidase IV; gp114, glycoprotein 114; MUC1, mucin 1.
