Descriptor galectina 3
Entry term(s) antígeno Mac-2
Scope note: Galectina multifuncional descubierta inicialmente como un antígeno de macrofago que se une a la INMUNOGLOBULINA E y como lectina de 29-35 kD que se une a la LAMININA. Está implicada en distintos acontecimientos biológicos, incluyendo interacciones con glucoconjugados que contienen galactosa, proliferación celular, DIFERENCIACIÓN CELULAR y APOPTOSIS.

Scope note: 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.
