Secondary Information

Protein Function Galectin-1 is located in the caruncular and intercaruncular regions of the bovine endometrium.These are Beta-galactoside-binding proteins modulating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. autocrine negative growth factor .Galectin-1 expression in Hodgkin Lymphoma has also been shown to mediate immunosuppression of CD8+ T-cells. creating immune tolerance in pregnancy.
Biochemical Properties Contains a carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) responsible for binding to B-galactosides.Commonly they are homodimers of two identical galectin subunits although they can also function as monomers.The N-terminal domain allows for multimerization and crosslinking between galectin proteins, each containing a CRD.
Significance in milk Galectin-1 was found to be a differentially expressed gene in the endometrium of AI pregnant cows when compared to cyclic cows. It has been implicated in the process of decidualization, the transformation of endometrial stroma into a specialized tissue that supports trophoblast invasion and provides nourishment to the conceptus before the establishment of a definite placenta

Additional Comments  Inhibition of human Gal-1 has been regarded as one of the potential therapeutic approaches for the treatment of cancer, as it plays a major role in tumour development and metastasis by modulating various biological functions viz. apoptosis, angiogenesis, migration, cell immune escape.Galectin-1 preferentially bound to neutrophils, plasma cells and enterocytes.
