Galectin-3. Galectin-3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LGALS3 gene. Galectin-3 is a member of the lectin family, of which 14 mammalian galectins have been identified.
The extracellular lectins - C-type, R-type, siglecs and galectins - are either secreted into the extracellular matrix or body fluids, or localized to the plasma membrane, and mediate a range of functions including cell adhesion, cell signalling, glycoprotein clearance and pathogen recognition.
