Specifications
Target Information
Galectin-8 is a beta-galactoside-binding lectin that functions as a sensor of membrane damage caused by infection, helping to curb the proliferation of invading pathogens by directing them towards autophagy. It identifies membrane rupture by binding to beta-galactoside ligands on the endosome membrane's lumenal side, which become exposed to the cytoplasm once a rupture occurs. In mice, Galectin-8 plays diverse roles, including bone metabolism, immune response, cell adhesion, tumor suppression, and antibacterial activities. Research indicates that mice with overexpressed Galectin-8 show increased osteoclast activity and bone turnover, resulting in bone loss akin to the conditions observed in postmenopausal osteoporosis and cancer-related osteolysis.
