- Description
- Exhibits galactoside binding activity and laminin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of wound healing; skeletal muscle fiber development; and sprouting angiogenesis. Predicted to localize to extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in myocardial infarction. Is expressed in digestive system; musculature system; nervous system; notochord; and spleen. Orthologous to human LGALS2 (galectin 2).
