LGALS9 - galectin 9 Gene
Also Known as HUAT; LGALS9A
Species: Homo sapiens
About LGALS9
This gene has 16 transcripts (splice variants), 353 orthologues and 16 paralogues. Broad expression in spleen (RPKM 33.5), stomach (RPKM 28.4) and 23 other tissues.
Summary
The galectins are a family of beta-galactoside-binding proteins implicated in modulating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. The protein encoded by this gene is an S-type lectin. It is overexpressed in Hodgkin's disease tissue and might participate in the interaction between the H&RS cells with their surrounding cells and might thus play a role in the pathogenesis of this disease and/or its associated immunodeficiency. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
