It discusses various glycan-binding proteins (GBPs), particularly lectins, including C-type lectins, galectins, and siglecs, and their specific interactions with carbohydrates. The importance of these interactions in processes like immune responses, cell recognition, and disease pathology, such as cancer and infections, is highlighted.
