Three major types of Galectins, Prototype galectin including types (Galectin-1, -2, -7, -10, -13, and -14), Chimer galectins (Galectin 3), and Tandem repeat galectins (Galectin-4, -8, -9, and -12). All the galectins involve in specific ligand binding mediating Cell–Cell adhesion, Cell-ECM adhesion, intracellular signaling, and Galectin–glycoprotein lattice formation
