LG3BP (Uniprot B4DVE1), also known as Mac-2 binding protein (Mac-2BP) or tumour-associated antigen 90K [127], is a heavily glycosylated, secreted protein whose expression is induced in viral infection and other inflammatory conditions [128,129,130], including metabolic syndrome [131,132] and cancer [133,134]. Here, LGALS3BP is linked to metabolic syndrome.
