Entrez ID 85329
Gene name Galectin 12
Gene symbol LGALS12
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
GAL12GRIP1
Chromosome 11
Chromosome location 11q12.3
Summary This gene encodes a member of the galectin superfamily, a group of beta-galactoside-binding proteins with conserved carbohydrate recognition domains. The related mouse protein is a primary regulator of the early stages of adipose tissue development. Alter
