Research Abstract |
The importance of the interaction between endogenous lectins and glycans on cancer cells has been explored. In this study, we demonstrated that the importance of hepatic asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR), C-type lectin with the preference in the recognition of galactose or N-acetylgalactosamine residue of the counter receptor, in the formation of metastasis of cancer cells.
