LGALS17A


Description

The LGALS17A (-) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 19.

LGALS17A is a gene that encodes the protein galectin-17A. This protein belongs to the galectin family, known for their sugar-binding properties and involvement in various cellular functions, such as cell adhesion, proliferation, and apoptosis. The specific role of LGALS17A is still under study, but it is suggested to participate in immune system processes and potentially contribute to cancer development.

LGALS17A (Galectin-17A) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LGALS17A gene. It belongs to the galectin family, which are sugar-binding proteins involved in various cellular processes such as cell adhesion, proliferation, and apoptosis. The exact function of LGALS17A is still under investigation, but it is thought to play a role in the immune system and may be involved in cancer development.

LGALS17A is also known as -.
