Background

Galectin-3 is a beta-galactoside-binding protein that regulates many biologic processes, including cell adhesion, migration, cell growth, tumor progression, metastasis, and apoptosis.1 It is secreted from activated macrophages, basophils, and mast cells.2 Galectin-3 may play an important role in the acute phase of human atopic dermatitis.
