Galectin-1 (Gal-1)

Target
Gal-1
Molecular classification
Lectin, β-galactoside-binding protein
01

Overview

Galectin-1 is a member of the galectin family, which are β-galactoside-binding proteins involved in modulating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. It plays a crucial role in immune regulation, cancer progression, and various inflammatory conditions. It can be found intracellularly and extracellularly, influencing diverse biological processes through its carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD).
