The dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC) and O-mannosylated glycans identified on α-DG (a). Galectin test panel covering the three types of vertebrate galectins: prototype (Gal-1), chimera (Gal-3), and tandem-repeat type (Gal-4 and -9) (b). CRD positioning relative to the termini is designated by N and C. The cis-binding and trans-bridging activity of galectin is also illustrated.
