The encoded protein is found as a homodimer and can bind to lymphotoxin-alpha. A single nucleotide polymorphism in an intron of this gene can alter the transcriptional level of the protein, with a resultant increased risk of myocardial infarction. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. * **UniProt Summary**: This protein binds beta-galactoside. Its physiological function is not yet known. |Gal-bind lectin| |galactoside binding| |carbohydrate binding| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp32|Rifampicin 10μM R00 exp32]]|-1.88| |[[:results:exp321|ABT-702 5μM plus Deferoxamine 11μM R07 exp321]]|-1.72| |[[:results:exp334|All-trans-Retinoic-Acid 40μM R07 exp334]]|-1.71| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
