## Abstract Galectins constitute a family of 15 mammalian galactosideβbinding proteins that share a consensus amino acid sequence in their carbohydrate binding sites. They are multiβfunctional molecules and are expressed widely in human tissues. Four galectins: galectin β1, β3, β4 and β8 are expres
Activation of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) by the membrane-type matrix metalloproteinases (MT-MMPs) has been associated with tumor progression. In the present study, we examined the role of MMP-2 and its activators MT1-MMP, MT2-MMP and MT3-MMP in pancreatic tumor cell invasion and the developm
