Galectin-2 Polyclonal Antibody, 100ul Pasteur Pipets A pseudogene of this gene

A pseudogene of this gene also lies on chromosome 15

Mutations in this gene result in Currarino syndrome

LCRs are associated with powerful enhancer activity that is mediated by the transcription factor NFE2 (nuclear factor erythroid-2)

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

Genetic variations in this gene are associated with susceptibility to leprosy type 4

Galectin-2 Polyclonal Antibody, 100ul Pasteur Pipets A pseudogene of this geneThe 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.
