LGALS2, also known as galectin2, is a soluble beta-galactoside binding lectin that modulates cell-to-cell adhesion and cell-to-extracellular matrix interactions and play a role in tumor progression, pre-mRNA splicing and apoptosis. This protein induces apoptosis in activated T cells and binds to the cytokine lymphotoxin-alpha (LTA) with possible implications in risk of myocardial infarction.
