QuickView for Galectin 3;jsessionid=CB988D9D35B3F2F82E6A8B9D90D9DCF6;jsessionid=667EA228C093382B08B9C08F0592FCDA;jsessionid=6723B7FBFE67E418393B370214AE0117 (gene)
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.
