Amino acid alignment of carbohydrate binding domain (CRD) of several human galectins. Beta strands in S-face and F-face were colored by cyan and green, respectively. A small alpha helix (colored by purple) occasionally forms in several galectin CRDs. The primary structure of Gal-10 is homologous to the CRDs of other galectins. The alignment was generated by CLUSTAL 2.1. The primary structure of Gal-12 was not used in this alignment because the secondary structure of Gal-12 was not determined.
