Galectin-13 (Gal-13) is a member of the galectin family and one of the prototype galectins. It contains a carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) responsible for binding β-galactosides, and exists as a biologically active homodimer. Expressed in the placenta, galectin-13 participates in T-cell apoptosis, immune regulation, and immune tolerance, all of which are crucial for fetal development. For instance, galectin-13 forms crystal-like aggregates in the decidua, which attract and eliminate maternal immune cells. Furthermore, galectin-13 is essential for neutrophil polarization in the placental growth-permissive phenotype.
