However, Lgals3 was also implicated/predicted to play a role in locomotion, response to light, eating behavior, eye/forebrain/hindbrain development, extracellular matrix metabolic pathways of collagen and elastin, iron and calcium homeostasis, regulation of vesicle mediated transport, Notch/cytokine/JAK-STAT/TGFB2 and smoothened signaling, viral infection associated processes and acute inflammatory response (Supplementary Tables S3 and S4). This evidence concerns the gene LGALS3 and viral infectious disease.
