X-RAY CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE HUMAN GALECTIN-3 CARBOHYDRATE RECOGNITION DOMAIN (CRD) AT 2.1 ANGSTROM RESOLUTIONX-RAY CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE HUMAN GALECTIN-3 CARBOHYDRATE RECOGNITION DOMAIN (CRD) AT 2.1 ANGSTROM RESOLUTION
Structural highlights
FunctionLEG3_HUMAN 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.[1] [2] [3] Evolutionary Conservation![]() Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.
