It shows expression in various tissues including the thymus spleen and liver. The galectin-9 protein is involved in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions where it binds to glycoproteins and glycolipids. Researchers commonly use methods like Galectin-9 ELISA to measure its levels in different biological samples.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nGalectins like galectin-9 play essential roles in regulating diverse immune responses. Galectin-9 acts within the immune system by modulating inflammation and apoptosis. It acts as both a pro-apoptotic factor for T cells and a protein mediator in innate immune functions. Galectin-9 proteins can form complexes with other lectins and cell surface receptors contributing to cellular signaling processes.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nGalectin-9 is integral to the immune system's functional networks. It participates in the T-cell regulation pathways and the innate immunity pathways. In these pathways it interacts with other proteins like TIM-3 which mediates T-cell apoptosis and contributes to immune tolerance. These interaction networks play important roles in maintaining the body's immune homeostasis.\u003cbr\u003e\nGalectin-9 has associations with autoimmune diseases and cancer. Its regulatory effects on T cells connect it to autoimmune conditions where abnormal T-cell activation occurs. In cancer the alteration in galectin-9 expression levels affects tumor immunity. The interaction of galectin-9 with other proteins like TIM-3 is important in cancer progression making it a target of interest for therapeutic interventions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46845083189417,"sku":"ab266923","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab266923","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
