pubmed:abstractText
A monomeric rat beta-galactoside-binding lectin previously purified from extracts of rat lung has been localized to erythrocytes, and the cDNA encoding it has been isolated from a rat reticulocyte cDNA library. The deduced amino acid sequence of the cDNA predicts a protein with a M(r) of 16,199, with no evidence of a signal peptide. The deduced sequence is identical to the sequences of seven proteolytic peptides derived from the purified lectin. Peptide analysis by mass spectrometry indicates that the N-terminal methionine is cleaved and that serine 2 is acetylated. The lectin shares all the strictly conserved amino acid residues of other members of the mammalian galectin family and is designated galectin-5 (GenBank accession number L36862). Galectin-5 is a weak agglutinin of rat erythrocytes, despite its monomeric structure. The gene encoding galectin-5 (LGALS5) has been mapped in mouse to chromosome 11, approximately 50 centimorgans from the centromere and 1.8 +/- 1.8 centimorgans from the polymorphic marker D11Mit34n, a region syntenic with human chromosome 17q11.
