General description

Lectin galactoside-binding soluble 3 binding protein (LGALS3BP), a tumor-secreted antigen, is a large oligomeric and highly glycosylated protein. The LGALS3BP gene is located on human chromosome 17q25.

Immunogen

LGALS3BP purified recombinant protein

Biochem/physiol Actions

Lectin galactoside-binding soluble 3 binding protein (LGALS3BP) also known as Mac-2 binding protein (M2BP) acts as a ligand of the lactose-specific S-type lectin, galectin-3. Mac-2 binding protein (M2BP) participates in cell adhesion and in tumor progression. Serum Mac-2 binding protein glycosylation isomer (M2BPGi) is considered as an important marker to study the criticality of liver disease.
