ABSTRACT
Background:
Galectin-3 protein, an S-type lectin, is encoded by LGALS3 gene. It consists of carbohydrate recognition domain [CRD], collagen like tandem repeats of nine amino acids and N-terminal 12-mer peptide. Its serum levels as well as some genetic variants were reported to be involved in various disease conditions like cancer, autoimmune diseases, heart diseases etc. Being viewed as an important molecule in biological responses and its association with various diseases, the present study was designed. This is the first in silico analyses of LGALS3
