Gene information for LGALS2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3957
Official gene symbolLGALS2
Full namelectin, galactoside-binding, soluble, 2
Aliases,HL14,MGC75071,
Gene summaryThe 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. [provided by RefSeq]
