Gene information for LGALS12 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID85329
Official gene symbolLGALS12
Full namelectin, galactoside-binding, soluble, 12
Aliases,GAL12,GRIP1,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the galectin superfamily, a group of beta-galactoside-binding proteins with conserved carbohydrate recognition domains. The related mouse protein is a primary regulator of the early stages of adipose tissue development. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.
