| UniProt Protein Function: | LGALS2: This protein binds beta-galactoside. Its physiological function is not yet known. |
| UniProt Protein Details: | Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 22q13.1 Molecular Function:galactoside binding; carbohydrate binding Disease: Myocardial Infarction, Susceptibility To |
| NCBI Summary: | The protein encoded by this gene is a soluble beta-galactoside binding lectin. The encoded protein is found as a homodimer and can bind to lymphotoxin-alpha. A single nucleotide polymorphism in an intron of this gene can alter the transcriptional level of the protein, with a resultant increased risk of myocardial infarction.
