Gene information for LGALS7 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3963
Official gene symbolLGALS7
Full namelectin, galactoside-binding, soluble, 7
Aliases,GAL7,LGALS7A,
Gene summaryThe galectins are a family of beta-galactoside-binding proteins implicated in modulating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. Differential and in situ hybridization studies indicate that this lectin is specifically expressed in keratinocytes and found mainly in stratified squamous epithelium. A duplicate copy of this gene (GeneID:653499) is found adjacent to, but on the opposite strand on chromosome 19. [provided by RefSeq]
