Résumé
In this study, we determined the genomic DNA sequences of the mucosal galectin-encoding genes from all 19 species and subspecies of the genus Anguilla. The nucleotide sequences of the galectin genes were c. 2.3-2.5 kb long and the organisation of their four exons and three introns was conserved in all species. An unusual sequence was found in the fourth exon of Anguilla reinhardtii, resulting in a unique deduced amino-acid sequence at the C-terminus. All six amino-acid residues important for β-galactoside binding were conserved in three species, while one residue (R
