The encapsulating tissue of all inner and outer body surfaces is formed by epithelial cells, which share a characteristic structure divided in an apical and a basolateral cell pole. Polar protein transport is essential for directional transport and integrity of the epithelial tissue. An essential element here are sorting receptors, to which the β-galactoside binding protein galectin-3 belongs. This lectin, while residing in an endosomal compartment, sorts and crosslinks glycoproteins to high-molecular weight clusters, thereby directing them to the apical cell pole. In addition to the localization in the endosome, extracellular galectin-3 has a key role in important processes such as immunomodulation or signal transduction. As a modulator, ...
