Gene information for LGALS9B (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID284194
Official gene symbolLGALS9B
Full namelectin, galactoside-binding, soluble, 9B
Aliases,FLJ58146,FLJ75081,
Gene summaryThis gene was initially thought to represent a pseudogene of galectin 9; however, this transcript has good exon-intron structure and encodes a predicted protein of the same size as and highly similar to galectin 9. This gene is one of two similar loci on chromosome 17p similar to galectin 9 and now thought to be protein-encoding. This gene is the more centromeric gene. [provided by RefSeq]
