Galectin-2 Polyclonal Antibody, 100ul Pasteur Pipets This gene encodes a 25-kD

This gene encodes a 25-kD microfibril-associated glycoprotein which is a component of microfibrils of the extracellular matrix

and may also function as tumor suppressors

Mutations in this gene result in Currarino syndrome

A pseudogene of this gene also lies on chromosome 15

Galectin-2 Polyclonal Antibody, 100ul Pasteur Pipets This gene encodes a 25-kDThe protein encoded by LGALS2 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.
