Galectins are a family of soluble b-galactoside-binding animal lectins that modulate cell-to-cell adhesion and cell-to- extracellular matrix (ECM) inter- actions and play a role in tumor progression, pre-mRNA splicing and apop-tosis.
The galectin-3 protein, also known as Mac-2, hMac-2, GALBP, CBP35 or LGALS3, contains a single carbohydrate binding domain, which binds galactose-containing glycoconjugates.
Galectin-3 is expressed in colonic and intestinal epithelium, inflammatory macrophages, papillary and follicular carcinomas, neoplastic astrocytes and some B and T lymphocytes.
Upregulated expression of galectin-3 is involved in cancer progression and metastasis.
Galectin-3 mediates the endocytosis of ∫1 Integrins in a lactose- dependent manner and is associated with thyroid malignancy and Crohn’s disease.
It may also be used as a marker for diagnosing cases involving Hurthle cell adenomas and carcinomas.
