Galactosides

04/10/2015 - "Galectin-1 (gal-1), a special lectin with high affinity to β-galactosides, is implicated in protection against ischemic brain injury. "

10/01/2007 - "Since CTA binds beta-d-galactosides, this lectin can be used as valuable tool for glycobiology studies in biomedical and cancer research. "
03/01/2013 - "Galectins selectively bind galactosides and are linked to cancer progression. "
11/01/1996 - "The predictive value of binding of the animal lectin CL-16 was especially pronounced for patients with advanced tumor stages, pointing to a potential role of such lectin-reactive beta-galactosides in late tumor stages or progression."
01/01/1990 - "Remarkably, basal cells of the Dunning tumor contain an endogenous lectin with specificity for beta-galactosides that is not found in basal cells of the normal rat prostate. "
06/24/2013 - "The binding of β-galactosides and galectin-3--a protein that is correlated to the progress of tumor and metastasis--is examined. "

11/01/1987 - "Study of the residual fibroblast beta-galactosidase activity towards 4-methylumbelliferyl and p-nitrophenyl beta-D-galactosides indicated that the mutation resembles that in typical Morquio B disease (increased Km and similar pH maximum) rather than that in GM1-gangliosidosis. "

04/01/2008 - "Although alpha-galactosides are considered as the main flatus-causing factors, they are also involved in several important functions during plant and seed development and beneficially stimulate the growth and activity of living bifidobacteria and lactobacilli in the human colon. "
01/01/2019 - "While this flatulence is undesirable (and results in their low acceptance in the Western diet), alpha-galactosides have also been hypothesized to increase susceptibility to bowel diseases, and their presence in the gut worsens the symptoms of patients with irritable bowel syndrome. "
01/01/2020 - "Alpha-galactosides or Raffinose Family Oligosaccharides (RFOs) are enriched in legumes and are considered as anti-nutritional factors responsible for inducing flatulence. "
05/01/2014 - "Approximately 50% of people in the world experience abdominal flatulence after the intake of foods containing galactosides such as lactose or soybean oligosaccharides. "
12/01/2002 - "alpha-Galactosides are usually considered as responsible for flatus but their apparent prebiotic effects may be an opportunity to valorize these oligosaccharides."

06/24/2013 - "The binding of β-galactosides and galectin-3--a protein that is correlated to the progress of tumor and metastasis--is examined. "
10/06/2000 - "Based on the known anti-metastasis activities of lactosides and galactosides, a galactosyl and a lactosyl trimannoside were prepared via the conventional Koenigs-Knorr and trichloroacetimidate methods, respectively. "
01/01/2019 - "Human Galectin-1, a protein of lectin family showing affinity towards β-galactosides has emerged as a critical regulator of tumor progression and metastasis, by modulating diverse biological events including homotypic cell aggregation, migration, apoptosis, angiogenesis and immune escape. "
10/01/1990 - "In order to evaluate the influence of sugar and label density as well as coupling mode of the carbohydrate moiety to the carrier protein for lectin localization in histopathology, four different types of neoglycoproteins, carrying beta-galactosides or alpha- and beta-anomers of N-acetyl-D-galactosamine were employed to reveal the presence of specific receptors in invasive ductal mammary carcinomas with propensity for metastasis formation.
