27. Studies indicated that Gal-8 was expressed both in the cytoplasm and nucleus in ECs of normal and tumor vessels. PMID:20876211
28. Platelets not only contain Gal-8, but also expose Gal-8 after thrombin activation. Findings reveal Gal-8 isoforms as a potent platelet activator; immobilized Gal-8 promotes platelet adhesion/spreading. PMID:20858220
