1 Effects of natural complex carbohydrate (citrus pectin) on murine melanoma cell properties related to galectin-3 functions. Carbohydrates lectin, galactose binding, soluble 3 Mus musculus
2 Citrus pectin (CP) and pH-modified citrus pectin (MCP) are highly branched and non-branched complex polysaccharides, respectively, rich in galactoside residues, capable of combining with the carbohydrate-binding domain of galectin-3. Carbohydrates lectin, galactose binding, soluble 3 Mus musculus
3 These results indicate that carbohydrate-recognition by cell surface galectin-3 may be involved in cell-extracellular matrix interaction and play a role in anchorage-independent growth as well as the in vivo embolization of tumour cells. Carbohydrates lectin, galactose binding, soluble 3 Mus musculus
