Galectin-8 is one of the galectins, beta-galactoside-binding lectins with conserved carbohydrate recognition domains (CRD).
Galectin-8 essentially consists of two carbohydrate recognition domains separated by a linker that bears no similarity to any known protein.
The gene symbol is LGALS8 [galactose-specific soluble lectin 8; lectin galactoside-binding soluble 8].
Galectin-8 has been identified originally as PCTA1 [Prostate carcinoma tumor antigen 1], an antigen expressed by prostate cancer cells.
Several isoforms appear to be expressed differentially in various tumoral cells.
The protein is identical with Po66-CBP [Po66 carbohydrate-binding protein], identified by the Po66 monoclonal antibody.
