Summary
LGALS9 attenuates acute lung injury by preferentially suppressing pro-inflammatory functions in pDC-like macrophages through TLR2/TLR4 down-regulation.
LGALS9 engagement impairs the cytotoxicity function and cytokine production of natural killer cells.
TLR activation promotes HAVCR2 and LGALS9 association within the same macrophage to differentially regulate IL12/IL23 expressions via STAT3 phosphorylation.
Entrez Gene
Summary 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
