(A) Clustal aligment of Agalectin with orthologs from Diptera, human galectin-1 and galectin-2. (B) Galectin purification. The chromatogram of the last purification step is shown. (C) SDS-PAGE of Agalectin, under reducing, or denaturing conditions. (D) Molecular weight determination. The retention volume of Agalectin was compared with molecular weight markers, and determined to behave as a dimer in solution. (E) Molecular modeling of Agalectin. Based on the galectin domain of porcine adenovirus (PDB 2WSU). (F) Lectin activity. Agalectin does not agglutinate RBC, with or without CaCl₂ (n = 3).
