Galectin-3-binding protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LGALS3BP gene.[5][6][7][8]

Function

The

beta-galactoside-binding proteins implicated in modulating cell–cell and cell–matrix interactions. Using fluorescence in–situ hybridization, the full length 90K cDNA has been localized to chromosome 17q25. The native protein binds specifically to a human macrophage-associated lectin known as Mac-2 and also binds to galectin 1.[8]

Clinical significance

LGALS3BP has been found elevated in the serum of patients with cancer and in those infected by the human immunodeficiency virus (

natural killer (NK) and lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cell cytotoxicity.[8]

Interactions

LGALS3BP has been shown to
