The galectins are a family of beta-galactoside-binding
proteins implicated in modulating cell-cell and cell-matrix
interactions. The protein encoded by this gene is an S-type lectin.
It is overexpressed in Hodgkin's disease tissue and might
participate in the interaction between the H&RS cells with their
surrounding cells and might thus play a role in the pathogenesis of
this disease and/or its associated immunodeficiency. Multiple
alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this
gene.1) Dardalhon, V., et al. J. Immunol. 185(3):1383-1392(2010)
