Free Glycans as Signaling Molecules
Excerpt
There has been a growing recognition that free glycans are used as signals for the initiation of a wide variety of biological processes. Such signaling events are found in development, in defense responses of plants and animals, and in interactions of organisms with one another. This chapter covers the current information on this field of study.
