Galectin-3-Binding Protein Inhibits Extracellular Heparan 6-O-Endosulfatase Sulf-2. [PDF]
Abstract Human extracellular 6- O -endosulfatases Sulf-1 and Sulf-2 are the only enzymes that post-synthetically alter the 6- O sulfation of heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG), which regulates interactions of HSPG with many proteins ...

Visualizing Galectin-3 Binding Protein Expression with ImmunoPET. [PDF]
Galectin-3 binding protein (Gal-3BP) is a glycoprotein that is overexpressed and secreted by several cancers and has been implicated as a marker of both tumor progression and poor prognosis in melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and breast cancer.

Galectins, antibodies to them and galectin-3 binding protein in systemic lupus erythematosus
The study of galectins is provoked by the search for new biomarkers of activity, clinical manifestations, and disease outcomes of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The presented literature review summarizes the data on the most well-known galectins-1, -

Serum galectin-3 and galectin-3 binding protein levels in systemic lupus erythematosus and cutaneous lupus erythematosus. [PDF]
The roles of galectin-3 (Gal-3) and galectin-3 binding protein (G3BP) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are of ongoing interest, but the data are insufficient due to highly limited available studies. There are no data on cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE).To assess serum Gal-3 and G3BP concentrations in SLE patients with and without LE-specific ...

Association of Serum Galectin-3-Binding Protein and Metabolic Syndrome in a Chinese Adult Population. [PDF]
BackgroundGalectin-3-binding protein (GAL-3BP) is a ubiquitous and multifunctional secreted glycoprotein, which functions in innate immunity and has been highlighted as a potential mediator of adipose inflammation in obesity. In this study, we aimed to identify whether GAL-3BP is a novel biological marker for metabolic syndrome (MetS).MethodsThe ...

The role of galectin-3 and galectin-3-binding protein in venous thrombosis. [PDF]
Key PointsWe determined the location of gal3bp and gal3 and their role in promoting VT and leukocyte/endothelial cell interactions for the first time. Gal3bp and gal3 have the potential to be used as targets for future VT therapies.

The two endocytic pathways mediated by the carbohydrate recognition domain and regulated by the collagen-like domain of galectin-3 in vascular endothelial cells. [PDF]
Galectin-3 plays an important role in endothelial morphogenesis and angiogenesis. We investigated the endocytosis of galectin-3 in human vascular endothelial cells and showed that galectin-3 could associate with and internalized into the cells in a ...
