DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Galectin-3; Short=Gal-3; AltName: Full=35 kDa lectin; AltName: Full=Carbohydrate-binding protein 35; Short=CBP 35; AltName: Full=Galactose-specific lectin 3; AltName: Full=Galactoside-binding protein; Short=GALBP; AltName: Full=IgE-binding protein; AltName: Full=L-31; AltName: Full=Laminin-binding protein; AltName: Full=Lectin L-29; AltName: Full=Mac-2 antigen;
FUNCTION: Galactose-specific lectin which binds IgE. May mediate with the alpha-3, beta-1 integrin the stimulation by CSPG4 of endothelial cells migration. Together with DMBT1, required for terminal differentiation of columnar epithelial cells during early embryogenesis (By similarity). In the nucleus: acts as a pre-mRNA splicing factor. Involved in acute inflammatory responses including neutrophil activation and adhesion, chemoattraction of monocytes macrophages, opsonization of apoptotic neutrophils, and activation of mast cells.
SUBUNIT: Probably forms homo- or heterodimers. Interacts with DMBT1 (By similarity). Forms a complex with the ITGA3, ITGB1 and CSPG4. Interacts with LGALS3BP, LYPD3, CYHR1 and UACA.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Secreted. Note=Secreted by a non-classical secretory pathway and associates with the cell surface.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: A major expression is found in the colonic epithelium. It is also abundant in the activated macrophages.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 galectin domain.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
