人半乳凝素-3已被用于：测试其与量子点上N-乙酰乳糖胺涂层的相互作用优化未凝聚和凝聚鸡红细胞（RBC）中Gal3诱发红细胞凝聚的测定 多个硬化症患者血清样品的Gal-3结合检测应用： 半乳凝素-3蛋白包括一个N-末端弹性域和一个C-末端碳水化合物识别域 (CRD)。它位于人染色体14q22.3。半乳凝素-3在感觉神经元、免疫内皮和上皮细胞中表达。 Galectin-3 protein comprises a N-terminal flexible domain and a C-terminal carbohydrate-recognition domain (CRD). It is mapped to human chromosome 14q22.3. Galectin-3 is expressed in sensory neurons, immune endothelial and epithelial cells. Application: Galectin-3 human has been used: to test its interaction with N -acetyl lactosamine coated onto quantum dots to optimize Gal3-induced hemagglutination measurements in non-agglutinated or agglutinated chicken red blood cells (RBCs) in Gal-3 binding assay of serum samples from multiple sclerosis patients
