Developmental regulation, expression, and apoptotic potential of galectin-9, a beta-galactoside binding lectin.
Galectin-9, a beta-galactoside binding lectin, has recently been isolated from murine embryonic kidney. In this study, its biological functions and expression in embryonic, newborn, and adult mice tissues were investigated. By Northern blot analyses, it was found widely distributed and its expression was developmentally regulated. In situ hybridization studies revealed an accentuated expression...
متن کاملPurification and properties of lung lectin. Rat lung and human lung beta-galactoside-binding proteins.
Lung is one of the organs of the rat with a particular abundance of haemagglutinating activity that is inhibited by beta-galactosides. This lectin activity can be attributed to a single protein that has been purified from rat lung; a similar protein has been purified from human lung. The molecular weights and subunit structures were estimated from gel filtration and sodium dodecyl sulphate/poly...
متن کاملThe 14 kDa beta-galactoside binding lectin in myoblast and myotube cultures: localization by confocal microscopy.
The endogenous 14 kDa beta-galactoside-specific lectin has been localised in myoblasts and myotubes by indirect immunofluorescence using confocal microscopy. The antibodies used in these experiments suggest that in myoblast cultures the lectin is abundant on the cell surface and concentrated at ruffled edges of migrating cells. The quantity and distribution of cell surface lectin is independent...
متن کاملInhibition of tumor growth and angiogenesis by SP-2, an anti-lectin, galactoside-binding soluble 3 binding protein (LGALS3BP) antibody.
Accumulating evidence indicates that serum and tissue levels of lectin, galactoside-binding soluble 3 binding protein (LGALS3BP), a secreted glycoprotein, are elevated in human cancers. Recently, we have identified LGALS3BP as a factor capable of stimulating angiogenesis of microvascular endothelial cells in vitro as well as in vivo. However, the potential therapeutic implications of LGALS3BP f...
متن کاملOxidation and chemical modification of lung beta-galactoside-specific lectin.
Galaptins are small, soluble, lectins with a specificity for beta-galactose residues. Many galaptins are inactivated by atmospheric oxygen and are protected by disulphide-reducing reagents. We find that each subunit of rat lung galaptin contains one residue of tryptophan and six of cysteine. Oxygen inactivates rat lung galaptin by oxidation of the cysteine residues. During oxidation, the normal...
