Multiple sequence alignments of the human galectin members.

Abstract

<p>Conserved amino acids are shown in bold, amino acids which play important roles in interactions apart from conserved residues in Gal-8C are shown in red and in blue for Gal-8N. This multiple sequence alignment was carried out by MAFFT web server <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0059761#pone.0059761-Katoh1" target="_blank">[48]</a>.</p
