Galectin-2 (Gal-2) is a lectin family member and structurally closely related to galectin-1. It contains one carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD), responsible for beta-galactoside binding, and is biologically active as homodimers. Galectin-2 serves as a proapoptotic effector for activated T cells through caspase-3 signaling. Moreover, galectin-2 has emerged as a crucial factor in driving the macrophage to CD40-positive M1 polarization, leading to arteriogenesis attenuation and collateral arteries remodeling.
