Galectin family classification and structure of galectin-3 (Gal-3). a Based on their structures, the galectin family has been subdivided into three subtypes: prototype galectins, chimaera-type galectins and tandem-repeat-type galectins. Some galectins can form dimers or oligomers. b The Gal-3 protein structure consists of an N-terminal domain (NTD), collagen-like sequence (CLS) and carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD)
