Positive Control: THP-1 cell lysate, A549 cell lysate, rat liver tissue lysate.
Subcellular Location: Cytoplasm, Nucleus, Secreted.
Predicted band size: 40 kDa.
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 and 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.
