Galectin-12 (Gal-12) is a member of the galectin family and belongs to the tandem-repeat-type galectins. Its single polypeptide chain contains two carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs) connected by a linker region. The CRDs are responsible for β-galactoside binding and are required for interaction with the VPS13C protein. Galectin-12 has been reported to be present in adipose tissue, but it is also expressed in macrophages and other leukocytes. It is involved in various biological activities, including cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, and cell differentiation. Furthermore, galectin-12 has emerged as a key driver of macrophage M1 polarization, thereby promoting inflammation and reducing insulin sensitivity in adipocytes.
