Gene:
lectin, galactoside-binding, soluble, 14
Gene ID:
208952
Symbol:
LGALS14
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene is predominantly expressed in placenta. The encoded protein belongs to the galectin (galaptin/S-lectin) family. The members of galectin family contain one or two carbohydrate recognition domains, which can bind beta-galactoside. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been observed.
