Classification of the galectin family is defined according to the respective carbohydrate-recognition domain (CRD) structure. Proto-type one consists of monomers or homodimers with one CRD; chimera-type one has a long non-lectin domain and one CRD; and tandem-repeat type one contains two distinct CRDs.
