LGALS14

LGALS14 (Galectin 14): LGALS14, or galectin 14, is part of the galectin family, proteins that bind beta-galactoside sugars and are involved in modulating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. Galectin 14 is expressed predominantly in the placenta and plays a role in immune response regulation and fetal-maternal tolerance. Its expression and function are critical for pregnancy success, and abnormalities in LGALS14 have been associated with pregnancy-related complications, such as pre-eclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction, highlighting its role in reproductive health....
