Binds galactosides. Has high affinity for the Forssman pentasaccharide. May play a role in thymocyte-epithelial interactions relevant to the biology of the thymus. Inhibits cell proliferation. It is a ligand for HAVCR2/TIM3. Induces T-helper type 1 lymphocyte (Th1) death. Isoform Short acts as an eosinophil chemoattractant.
Specificity
Natural and recombinant Human Galectin-9
Subcellular Location
Cytoplasm Secreted May also be secreted by a non-classical secretory pathway.
