Placental protein 13 (PP13) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LGALS13 gene.[3][4]

Structure and function

[edit]

Function

[edit]

It is composed of two identical subunits which are held together by disulfide bonds. The monomer of this protein has structural similarity to several members of the beta-galactoside-binding S-type lectin family, but it could not bind beta-galactoside. This is because the ligand binding site is lack of key residue for binding beta-galactoside. [5]It is a galectin-like protein. The ligand of this protein is still unknown.

Clinical significance

[edit]

PP13 levels that are low in the first trimester of pregnancy confers a higher risk for developing pre-eclampsia later in pregnancy.[6]
