LGALS5

Galectin 5

Predicted to enable galactoside binding activity and lactose binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of CD4-positive, alpha-beta T cell proliferation; positive regulation of T cell apoptotic process; and regulation of gene expression. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus. Orthologous to several human genes including LGALS9 (galectin 9); LGALS9B (galectin 9B); and LGALS9C (galectin 9C).
