GAL2R mediated apoptosis in the latter cell line; however, the GAL antiproliferative potency was 100-fold higher in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells overexpressing GAL2R than in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells overexpressing GAL1R, suggesting that a high level of GAL2R is able to block tumor cell proliferation [12]. Here, GAL is linked to neoplasm.
