Galectin-8-like isoform X1 mediates antibacterial, antiviral, and antioxidant responses in red-lip mullet (Planiliza haematocheilus) through positive modulation of pro-inflammatory cytokine, chemokine, and enzymatic antioxidant activity

Galectin 8 belongs to the tandem repeat subclass of the galectin superfamily. It possesses two homologous carbohydrate recognition domains linked by a short peptide and preferentially binds to β-galactoside-containing glycol-conjugates in a calcium-independent manner. This study identified Galectin-...

Description
Summary:Galectin 8 belongs to the tandem repeat subclass of the galectin superfamily. It possesses two homologous carbohydrate recognition domains linked by a short peptide and preferentially binds to β-galactoside-containing glycol-conjugates in a calcium-independent manner. This study identified Galectin-8-like isoform X1 (PhGal8X1) from red-lip mullet (Planiliza haematocheilus) and investigated its role in regulating fish immunity. The open reading frame of PhGal8X1 was 918bp, encoding a soluble protein of 305 amino acids. The protein had a theoretical isoelectric (pI) point of 7.7 and an estimated molecular weight of 34.078 kDa. PhGal8X1 was expressed in various tissues of the fish, with prominent levels in the brain, stomach, and intestine. PhGal8X1 expression was significantly (p
