This chapter discusses some general features of glycosylation and glycan-binding interactions in a few species that belong to the deuterostome lineage, with particular emphasis on sea urchins, frogs, zebrafish, and mice. These organisms provide excellent models for studying the functions of glycans in development and physiology.
