Stress-induced Gal-1 immediately accumulates in the spleen and thymus, and may modulate the immune response through apoptosis by binding to CD45(+) lymphocytes in immune organs following physiological and/or psychological stress.

Gal-1 regulates I(Ca,L) by decreasing the surface expression of Ca(V)1.2 channels in a splice variant selective manner. This may modulate vasoconstriction. Gal-1 binds the I-II loop only in the absence of alternatively spliced exon 9*.

Endogenous galectin-1 was found to be markedly upregulated, paralleled with increased astrocytic BDNF production under ischemic conditions both in vitro and in vivo.

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.
