Function
Galactose-specific lectin which binds IgE. May mediate with the alpha-3, beta-1 integrin the stimulation by CSPG4 of endothelial cells migration. Together with DMBT1, required for terminal differentiation of columnar epithelial cells during early embryogenesis.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cytoplasm; Nucleus; Secreted
Tissue Specificity: A major expression is found in the colonic epithelium. It is also abundant in the activated macrophages. Expressed in fetal membranes
