The galectins are a family of beta-galactoside-binding
proteins implicated in modulating cell-cell and cell-matrix
interactions. Differential and in situ hybridization studies
indicate that this lectin is specifically expressed in
keratinocytes and found mainly in stratified squamous epithelium. A
duplicate copy of this gene (GeneID:653499) is found adjacent to,
but on the opposite strand on chromosome 19.1) Demers, M., et al. Am. J. Pathol. 176(6):3023-3031(2010)
