Summary
Enables several functions, including carbohydrate binding activity; galactoside binding activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activator activity. Involved in several processes, including regulation of cytokine production; regulation of defense response; and regulation of leukocyte activation. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; hemolymphoid system; intestine; liver; and metanephros. Orthologous to several human genes including LGALS9 (galectin 9).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (2) lacks an alternate in-frame exon, compared to variant 1. This difference results in a shorter isoform (2), compared to isoform 1.
