Protein: P17931

Uniprot: 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. more..

Function 1: Transcription factor. Plays a crucial role in the regulation of specific gene expression dependent on a cell type through the interaction with various transcription factor and phosphorylation is required for exerting its activity. Acts as a pre-mRNA splicing factor. Condition: nuclear localisation.

Function 2: Extracellular Gal-3 mediates cell migration, cell adhesion, and cell-cell interactions through its carbohydrate-binding property, whereas cytoplasmic Gal-3 exerts anti-apoptotic activity and modulates several signal transduction pathways. Condition: cytoplasmic or extracellular localisation (secreted by a non-classical secretory pathway and associates with the cell surface).
