MeSH Heading: Galectin 3
Tree Number(s): D12.776.503.307.300
Unique ID: D037502
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D037502
Scope Note: A multifunctional galactin initially discovered as a macrophage antigen that binds to IMMUNOGLOBULIN E, and as 29-35-kDa lectin that binds LAMININ. It is involved in a variety of biological events including interactions with galactose-containing glycoconjugates, cell proliferation, CELL DIFFERENTIATION, and APOPTOSIS.
