Weak to moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity was observed in most endometrial, colorectal, urothelial cancers and in melanomas. A majority of gliomas, lymphomas, skin cancers and testicular cancers were negative.
Moderate to strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity was observed in most adenocarcinomas, gliomas and melanomas. Testicular cancers, carcinoids and most liver and renal cancers were negative.
Lectin, galactoside-binding, soluble, 3 binding protein (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The galectins are a family of beta-galactoside-binding proteins implicated in modulating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. LGALS3BP has been found elevated in the serum of patients with cancer and in those infected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It appears to be implicated in immune response associated with natural killer (NK) and lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cell cytotoxicity. Using fluorescence in situ hybridization the full length 90K cDNA has been localized to chromosome 17q25. The native protein binds specifically to a human macrophage-associated lectin known as Mac-2 and also binds galectin 1. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
