Galectins are a family of glycan-binding lectins with diverse regulatory roles in physiological processes. They have significant roles in inflammation and cancer. Thiodigalactoside is a diglycan that binds galectins-1, -3, -8, and -9 with Kd values between 24 and 78 µM. It is used to investigate the roles of these galectins in cell signaling and carcinogenesis.
