LGALS3 - galectin 3 Gene
Also Known as L31; GAL3; MAC2; CBP35; GALBP; GALIG; LGALS2
Species: Homo sapiens
About LGALS3
This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 218 orthologues and 16 paralogues. Broad expression in colon (RPKM 302.9), small intestine (RPKM 190.7) and 21 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the Galectin family of carbohydrate binding proteins. Members of this protein family have an affinity for beta-galactosides. The encoded protein is characterized by an N-terminal proline-rich tandem repeat domain and a single C-terminal carbohydrate recognition domain. This protein can self-associate through the N-terminal domain allowing it to bind to multivalent saccharide ligands. This protein localizes to the extracellular matrix, the cytoplasm and the nucleus. This protein plays a role in numerous cellular functions including Apoptosis, innate immunity, cell adhesion and T-cell regulation. The protein exhibits antimicrobial activity against bacteria and fungi. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]
