QuickView for Galectin 3 (gene)

Gene Symbol:

LGALS2 Homo sapiens

Full name:

galectin 2

Synonyms:

HL14, galectin-2, S-Lac lectin 2, beta-galactoside-binding lectin L-14-II, gal-2, lactose-binding lectin 2, lectin, galactoside-binding, soluble, 2

Genomic Location:

Chr 22: 36296199-36305970

Description:

The protein encoded by this gene is a soluble beta-galactoside binding lectin. The encoded protein is found as a homodimer and can bind to lymphotoxin-alpha. A single nucleotide polymorphism in an intron of this gene can alter the transcriptional level of the protein, with a resultant increased risk of myocardial infarction.
