35 kDa lectin; CBP 35; Carbohydrate binding protein 35; GALBP; Galactose-specific lectin 3; Galactoside-binding protein; IgE-binding protein; L-31; L-34 galactoside-binding lectin; LEG3; LGALS3; Laminin-binding protein; Lectin L-29; MAC-2 antigen; MAC2

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.
