The carbohydrate ligands and the three forms of architecture of human galectins, i.e. non-covalently associated homodimer, linker-connected heterodimer (galectin-4 [Gal-4] with a 42 amino-acid-long linker) and lectin domain with N-terminal tail containing collagen-like repeats and a peptide with two sites of serine phosphorylation.
