About Lgals3

Summary

Enables several functions, including Fc-gamma Receptor I complex binding activity; IgE binding activity; and advanced glycation end-product receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cell proliferation in bone marrow; positive regulation of angiogenesis; and positive regulation of serotonin secretion. Located in several cellular components, including cell surface; extracellular space; and nucleus. Biomarker of several diseases, including acute kidney failure; attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; brain ischemia; congestive heart failure; and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma. Orthologous to human LGALS3 (Galectin 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
