LGALS3 and carcinoma: For example, two peptides (G3-A9 and G3-C12, with amino acid sequences PQNSKIPGPTFLDPH and ANTPCGPYTHDCPVKR, respectively) were shown to bind relatively specifically to Gal-3 (Kd of 80 × 10−9 M) and recognize cell surface Gal-3 on carcinoma cells and monocytes, block the interaction between Gal-3 and TFAg (Thomsen-Friedenreich glycoantigen), and inhibit adhesion of human breast carcinoma cells to endothelial cells [131].
