Supplementary information

Galectin 8 also known as Gal-8 or GAL is a member of the galectin protein family which binds β-galactosides. The protein has another name anti-gal and possesses a molecular mass of approximately 36 kDa. It exhibits broad expression in various tissues including the immune system bones and gastrointestinal tract. Galectin-8 functions mechanically by binding to glycoproteins and glycolipids which facilitates cell adhesion and regulation processes.

Biological function summary

Galectin-8 impacts numerous cellular functions through its involvement in immunomodulation and cell migration. Gal-8 promotes adhesion between cells and the extracellular matrix. It is not a part of a larger protein complex but interacts with multiple cell surface receptors guiding them toward or away from specific locations. Galectins including Galectin-8 influence immune cell responses by managing the apoptosis of T-cells and modifying cytokine production.

Pathways

Galectin-8 engages in signaling pathways related to cellular adhesion and immune system modulation. It participates in the integrin-mediated cell adhesion pathway and contributes to the receptor signaling pathway associated with cytokines. Within these pathways Galectin-8 interacts with other proteins such as integrins and T-cell receptors influencing their activation internalization and cell surface retention.

Galectin-8 plays roles in cancer progression and inflammatory conditions. It is connected to cancer as it regulates angiogenesis cell invasion and metastasis. Galectin-8 interacts with fibronectin and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) within the context of cancer. In inflammatory diseases Gal-8 influences immune cell migration and inflammation through its action on cytokine receptors contributing to conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.

Target data

Beta-galactoside-binding lectin that acts as a sensor of membrane damage caused by infection and restricts the proliferation of infecting pathogens by targeting them for autophagy. Detects membrane rupture by binding beta-galactoside ligands located on the lumenal side of the endosome membrane; these ligands becoming exposed to the cytoplasm following rupture. Restricts infection by initiating autophagy via interaction with CALCOCO2/NDP52. Required to restrict infection of bacterial invasion such as S.typhimurium. Also required to restrict infection of Picornaviridae viruses. Has a marked preference for 3'-O-sialylated and 3'-O-sulfated glycans.
