Descriptor galectinas
Entry term(s) galaptinas
lectinas tipo S
Scope note: Tipo de lectinas de animales con afinidad por el beta-galactósido con independencia del calcio. Los miembros de esta clase se diferencian de otras lectinas por la presencia de un dominio conservado de reconocimiento de carbohidratos. La mayoría de las proteínas de este grupo se unen a moléculas de azucar en un proceso dependiente del sulfhidrilo, por lo que suele hablarse de lectinas tipo S, si bien esta propiedad no es imprescindible para pertenecer a este grupo.

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D037161
Scope note: A class of animal lectins that bind specifically to beta-galactoside in a calcium-independent manner. Members of this class are distiguished from other lectins by the presence of a conserved carbohydrate recognition domain. The majority of proteins in this class bind to sugar molecules in a sulfhydryl-dependent manner and are often referred to as S-type lectins, however this property is not required for membership in this class.
