Protein Name :

Galectin-9

Molecular Weight :

39518 MW

Protein Function :

Binds galactosides. Has high affinity for the Forssman pentasaccharide. May play a role in thymocyte-epithelial interactions relevant to the biology of the thymus. Inhibits cell proliferation. It is a ligand for HAVCR2/TIM3. Induces T-helper type 1 lymphocyte (Th1) death. Isoform Short acts as an eosinophil chemoattractant.

Subcellular Localization :

Cytoplasm . Secreted . May also be secreted by a non-classical secretory pathway.

Tissue Specificity :

Peripheral blood leukocytes and lymphatic tissues. Overexpressed in Hodgkin disease tissue.

Sequence Similarities :

Contains 2 galectin domains.

Background :

Galectin-9, also called HUAT or LGALS9A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LGALS9 gene. This gene is mapped to 17q11.2. The galectins are a family of beta-galactoside-binding proteins implicated in modulating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. The protein encoded by this gene is an S-type lectin. It is overexpressed in Hodgkin's disease tissue and might participate in the interaction between the H&RS cells with their surrounding cells and might thus play a role in the pathogenesis of this disease and/or its associated immunodeficiency. The protein has N- and C- terminal carbohydrate-binding domains connected by a link peptide.
