Mouse Anti-Galectin-1 (GAL1, LGALS1, GAL-1, Lectin Galactoside-binding Soluble 1, Beta-galactoside-binding Lectin L-14-I, Lactose-binding Lectin 1, S-Lac Lectin 1, Galaptin, 14kD Laminin Binding Protein, 14kD Lectin, HLBP14, HPL, HBL, Putative MAPK-activating Protein PM12, GBP, DKFZp686E23103)
Human galectin-1 (Gal-1), a member of the galectin family of beta-galactoside-binding proteins, which exhibits both intracellular and extracellular functions, and is differentially expressed by a wide range of normal and neoplastic tissues. Gal-1 has been implicated in several major cellular functions including proliferation, motility, hematopoietic cell differentiation, apoptosis promotion and immunoregulatory effects. The expression of Gal-1 by neuronal and glial cells correlates with neuroregeneration following injury, and studies have shown the importance of Gal-1 to primary sensory neurons and synaptic connections in the spinal cord, during embryonic development.
