== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/LEG3_HUMAN LEG3_HUMAN] Galactose-specific lectin which binds IgE. May mediate with the alpha-3, beta-1 integrin the stimulation by CSPG4 of endothelial cells migration. Together with DMBT1, required for terminal differentiation of columnar epithelial cells during early embryogenesis (By similarity). In the nucleus: acts as a pre-mRNA splicing factor. Involved in acute inflammatory responses including neutrophil activation and adhesion, chemoattraction of monocytes macrophages, opsonization of apoptotic neutrophils, and activation of mast cells.<ref>PMID:15181153</ref> <ref>PMID:19594635</ref> <ref>PMID:19616076</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Even though Stellaria dichotoma L. var. lanceolate (S. dichotoma) is a well-known medicinal plant in the family Caryophyllaceae, its oligosaccharides remain unexplored in terms of their potential as bioactive agents. Here, we isolated a mixture of oligosaccharides from S. dichotoma (Yield: 12 % w/w), that are primarily non-classical raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs). Nine major oligosaccharides were purified and identified from the mixture, including sucrose, raffinose, 1-planteose, lychnose, stellariose, along with four new non-classical RFOs. Two of the four new oligosaccharides are linear hexose pentamers with alpha-galactosyl extensions on their lychnose moieties, and the other two are branched hexose hexamers with alpha-galactosyl extensions on their stellariose groups. Their interactions with galectin-3 (Gal-3) revealed significant binding, with the terminal galactose providing enhanced affinity for the lectin. Notably, Gal-3 residues Arg144, His158, Asn160, Arg162, Asn174, Trp181, Glu184 and Arg186 coordinate with the lychnose. In vivo studies using the dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) mouse model for colitis demonstrated the ability of these carbohydrates in mitigating ulcerative colitis (UC). Overall, our study has provided structural information and potential applications of S. dichotoma oligosaccharides, also offers new approaches for the development of medicinal oligosaccharides.
