Lgals5 - galectin 5

Predicted to enable galactoside binding activity and lactose binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of CD4-positive, alpha-beta T cell proliferation; positive regulation of T cell apoptotic process; and regulation of gene expression. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus. Orthologous to human LGALS16 (galectin 16) and LGALS7B (galectin 7B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
