背景信息:
Galectin-2, also known as LGALS2, Lactose-binding lectin 2 or HL14, is structurally closely related to galectin-1, but is expressed primarily in the gastrointestinal tract. Galectin-2 induces apoptosis in activated T cells and binds to the cytokine lymphotoxin-a (LTA) with possible implications in risk of myocardial infarction.
