Galectin-9 Proteins and Enzymes

Galectin-9 is a secreted carbohydrate-binding protein with two lectin domains connected by a linker region. Progressive deletion within the linker region generates an isoform known as Ecalectin or UAT. Galectin-9 binds to carbohydrate moieties of IgE, preventing immune complex formation, mast cell degranulation, and asthmatic and cutaneous anaphyla...
