Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionlec-8 encodes a glycolipid-binding galectin; LEC-8 binds glycolipids and can inhibit Bacillus thuringiensis Cry5B from binding glycolipids; lec-8 mutants are more susceptible to Cry5B; lec-8 is expressed in the pharyngeal-intestinal valve, the intestinal-rectal valve, and in some vesicles of the intestine; lec-8 expression in the intestine is induced in response to bacterial infection and Cry5B, suggesting that LEC-8 plays a role in host defense response.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00005382

Automated_descriptionEnables glycolipid binding activity. Involved in response to toxic substance. Located in cytoplasmic vesicle. Expressed in intestine; pharyngeal-intestinal valve; tail; virL; and virR. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including COVID-19; aortic valve stenosis; and liver cirrhosis. Is an ortholog of human LGALS3 (galectin 3).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
