Galectin-3/LGALS3, Human

Galectin-3/LGALS3 Protein is a type of galactoside-binding lectin that has a high binding affinity for carbohydrates with β-galactoside linkages. Galectin-3/LGALS3 Protein interacts with glycosylated proteins to mediate intercellular interactions and adhesion to the extracellular matrix. Galectin-3/LGALS3 Protein plays various roles, including regulating signaling pathways such as Wnt/β-catenin, affecting cell proliferation and survival, modulating immune functions, and influencing tumor progression. Galectin-3/LGALS3 Protein, Human is a recombinant galectin-3/LGALS3 protein expressed in E. coli[1][2].
