Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including IgE binding activity; advanced glycation end-product receptor activity; and signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of T cell receptor signaling pathway; negative regulation of endocytosis; and negative regulation of lymphocyte activation. Acts upstream of or within extracellular matrix organization and skeletal system development. Located in several cellular components, including external side of plasma membrane; glial cell projection; and immunological synapse. Is active in cornified envelope. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; skeleton; and skin. Used to study steatotic liver disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma. Orthologous to human LGALS3 (galectin 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
