lec-11 encodes a predicted member of the galectin family that shares highest similarity with lec-7 through lec-10 within the C-terminal tail and also shares a higher relative histidine content in common with lec-7 through lec-10; can bind sugar in vitro.
Map 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.
