Processes
apoptotic process / cellular response to glucose stimulus / cellular response to organic cyclic compound / multicellular organismal response to stress / myoblast differentiation / negative regulation of cell-substrate adhesion / negative regulation of neuron projection development / plasma cell differentiation / positive regulation of erythrocyte aggregation / positive regulation of I-kappaB kinase/NF-kappaB signaling / positive regulation of viral entry into host cell / regulation of apoptotic process / response to axon injury / response to drug / signal transduction / T cell costimulation
Components

General Function
Signal transducer activity
Specific Function
Lectin that binds beta-galactoside and a wide array of complex carbohydrates. Plays a role in regulating apoptosis, cell proliferation and cell differentiation. Inhibits CD45 protein phosphatase activity and therefore the dephosphorylation of Lyn kinase. Strong inducer of T-cell apoptosis.
