Target Details for Galectin 3

Target: Galectin 3 (LGALS3)

Alternative Name: LGALS3

Background:

Background: Galectin-3 (GAL3), also known as LGALS3, MAC2 or GALBP, is a member of the lectin family, of which 14 mammalian galectins have been identified. Galectin-3 is encoded by a single gene, it located on chromosome 14, locus q21–q22. It is expressed in the nucleus, cytoplasm,mitochondrion, cell surface, and extracellular space. Studies have also shown that the expression of galectin-3 is implicated in a variety of processes associated with heart failure, including myofibroblast proliferation, fibrogenesis, tissue repair, inflammation, and Ventricular remodeling. Galectin-3 is expressed in various tissues and organs, but is significantly absent in normal hepatocytes.
