Preferred Label : galectin 3;
MeSH definition : A multifunctional galactin initially discovered as a macrophage antigen that binds
to IMMUNOGLOBULIN E, and as 29-35-kDa lectin that binds LAMININ. It is involved in
a variety of biological events including interactions with galactose-containing glycoconjugates,
cell proliferation, CELL DIFFERENTIATION, and APOPTOSIS.;
