Galectins are a family of -galactoside-binding animal lectins. In particular, a widely studied member galectin-3, previously designated as ⑀BP, CBP35, Mac-2, L-29 and L-34, has been associated with assorted processes such as cell growth, tumor transformation and metastasis. Galectin-3 is expressed

## Abstract The molecular mechanisms by which mesenchymal cells differentiate into chondrocytes are poorly understood. The cartilage oligomeric matrix protein gene (COMP) encodes a noncollagenous extracellular matrix protein whose expression pattern correlates with chondrocyte differentiation and a
Over 70 mutations in the cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), a large extracellular pentameric glycoprotein synthesized by chondrocytes, have been identified as causing two skeletal dysplasias: multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED/EDM1), and a dwarfing condition, pseudoachondroplasia (PSACH). T
