Galectin-9 binds IgM-BCR to regulate B cell signaling [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 The galectin family of secreted lectins are important regulators of immune cell function; however, their role in B cell responses is poorly understood. Here, the authors identify IgM-BCR as a ligand for galectin-9.

Galectin-9 Triggers Neutrophil-Mediated Anticancer Immunity [PDF]
Biomedicines, 2021 In earlier studies, galectin-9 (Gal-9) was identified as a multifaceted player in both adaptive and innate immunity. Further, Gal-9 had direct cytotoxic and tumor-selective activity towards cancer cell lines of various origins. In the current study, we identified that treatment with Gal-9 triggered pronounced membrane alterations in cancer cells ...

Galectin-9: diverse roles in skin disease. [PDF]
Front AllergyGalectin-9 (Gal-9) is a multifunctional immunomodulatory molecule involved in cell growth, differentiation, adhesion, communication, and death. Galectin-9 mediates its physiological functions through interactions with multiple membrane receptors, including T-cell immunoglobulin mucin-domain containing-3 (Tim-3), immunoglobulin E, and the hyaluronan ...
