Description

Galectin-3/LGALS3 protein binds IgE and cooperates with integrins α-3 and β-1 to promote endothelial cell migration.It contributes to epithelial cell differentiation and acts as a splicing factor in the nucleus.Galectin-3/LGALS3 Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His) is the recombinant mouse-derived Galectin-3/LGALS3 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag.

Background

Galectin-3 (LGALS3) functions as a galactose-specific lectin with the ability to bind IgE and, in collaboration with the alpha-3, beta-1 integrin, participates in the CSPG4-induced stimulation of endothelial cell migration. Alongside DMBT1, it is essential for the terminal differentiation of columnar epithelial cells during early embryogenesis. In the nucleus, Galectin-3 acts as a pre-mRNA splicing factor. Outside the nucleus, it plays a crucial role in acute inflammatory responses, involving neutrophil activation and adhesion, monocyte macrophage chemoattraction, opsonization of apoptotic neutrophils, and mast cell activation. Furthermore, in coordination with TRIM16, Galectin-3 facilitates the recognition of membrane damage, mobilizing core autophagy regulators ATG16L1 and BECN1 in response to damaged endomembranes. The protein likely forms homo- or heterodimers and interacts with various partners, including DMBT1, CD6, ALCAM, ITGA3, ITGB1, CSPG4, LGALS3BP, LYPD3, ZFTRAF1, and UACA, with the interaction with TRIM16 mediating the autophagy of damaged endomembranes.
