Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded Human thyroid cancer tissue labelling Galectin 3 with ab309974 at 1/100 (5.0 μg/ml). Positive staining on human thyroid cancer. The section was incubated with ab309974 for 60 mins at room temperature (shown in green). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue). The section was then mounted using Fluoromount®. The immunostaining was performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND RX instrument. The image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8). Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0, Epitope Retrieval Solution2) for 40 mins.

Supplementary information

Galectin-3 also known as LGALS3 is a protein belonging to the galectin family which are beta-galactoside-binding lectins. This protein has a molecular weight of about 30 kDa. It shows expression in various tissues including the heart liver and gastrointestinal tract. Galectin-3 plays a mechanical role in cell-cell adhesion cell-matrix interactions and modulating immune responses. Researchers often use galectin-3 ELISA kits to quantify its presence in different biological samples.
Biological function summary

Galectin-3 participates in cell growth regulation apoptosis and immune system modulation. Galectin-3 does not typically integrate into larger molecular complexes but it interacts with a variety of cell surface and extracellular matrix molecules. Its function influences processes like cell differentiation and angiogenesis where it can act as a regulator leveraging its ability to bind glycans on cell surfaces and matrix components.

Pathways

Galectin-3 contributes to the regulation of pathways such as the MAPK signaling pathway and the Wnt signaling pathway. In the MAPK pathway it influences cell proliferation and survival. Galectin-3 interacts with proteins like β-catenin in the Wnt pathway assisting in transcriptional regulation and cell fate determination. These pathways are vital for maintaining cellular homeostasis and responding to extracellular signals.

Galectin-3 has a strong connection to cancer and fibrosis. Its role in cancer involves promoting tumor cell survival metastasis and angiogenesis where it interacts with proteins like integrins to facilitate tumor progression. In fibrosis galectin-3 contributes to fibrotic tissue formation especially in conditions like idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and cardiac fibrosis often associated with proteins such as TGF-β. Understanding these interactions helps in developing therapeutic strategies targeting galectin-3 in these diseases.

Target data

Galactose-specific lectin which binds IgE. May mediate with the alpha-3, beta-1 integrin the stimulation by CSPG4 of endothelial cells migration. Together with DMBT1, required for terminal differentiation of columnar epithelial cells during early embryogenesis (By similarity). In the nucleus : acts as a pre-mRNA splicing factor. Involved in acute inflammatory responses including neutrophil activation and adhesion, chemoattraction of monocytes macrophages, opsonization of apoptotic neutrophils, and activation of mast cells. Together with TRIM16, coordinates the recognition of membrane damage with mobilization of the core autophagy regulators ATG16L1 and BECN1 in response to damaged endomembranes.
