Other name

Background
The galectins are a family of beta-galactoside-binding proteins implicated in modulating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. LGALS3BP has been found elevated in the serum of patients with cancer and in those infected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It appears to be implicated in immune response associated with natural killer (NK) and lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cell cytotoxicity. Using fluorescence in situ hybridization the full length 90K cDNA has been localized to chromosome 17q25. The native protein binds specifically to a human macrophage-associated lectin known as Mac-2 and also binds galectin 1. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
function:Promotes intergrin-mediated cell adhesion. May stimulate host defense against viruses and tumor cells.,similarity:Contains 1 BACK (BTB/Kelch associated) domain.,similarity:Contains 1 BTB (POZ) domain.,similarity:Contains 1 SRCR domain.,subunit:Homodimers and homomultimers. The multimers form ring-like structures with a diameter of 30-40 nm. Binds LGALS1 and LGALS3. Binds ITGB1, COL4A1, COL5A1, COL6A1, FN1 and NID.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitous. Detected in body fluids such as semen, milk, serum, tears, saliva and urine. Expressed by keratinocytes and fibroblasts.,
