Abstract

Galectin-3 is a β-galactoside binding lectin, containing carbohydrate-recognition domain, which interacts with a number of ligands. It is found in many tissues and is distributed intra– and extracellularly. The localization of the biomarker determines its function. Galectin-3 is involved in variety of biological processes sush as inflammation, fibrosis, immunological response and neoplastic growth. It may be used as a diagnostic or prognostic biomarker especially in cancer and cardiovascular diseases. The present review summarizes some of the properties of this biomarker.

半乳糖凝集素-3:多种临床应用
半乳糖凝集素-3是一种β-半乳糖苷结合凝集素,含有碳水化合物识别结构域,可与多种配体相互作用。它存在于许多组织中,分布于细胞内和细胞外。生物标志物的定位决定了它的功能。半乳糖凝集素-3参与多种生物过程,如炎症、纤维化、免疫反应和肿瘤生长。它可以用作诊断或预后的生物标志物,特别是在癌症和心血管疾病中。本文综述了该生物标志物的一些特性。生物医学学报,2019;30:83-88
