GtoPdb Ligand ID: 6615

Synonyms: L3 antigen | Mac-2-binding protein | MAC-2-BP

Compound class: Endogenous peptide in human, mouse or rat

Comment: Galectin 3 binding protein binds galectin-3. The galectin 3 binding protein/galectin-3 interaction appears to play a critical role in venous thrombosis formation in animal models. In human patients, elevated circulating galectin-3 binding protein levels correlate with acute venous thrombosis [1].

Species: Human

Immunopharmacology Comments
We have included this ligand in GtoImmuPdb because of its association with venous thrombosis, and the tangential links between atherosclerosis and inflammatory processes.
