    Summary
    Enables galactoside binding activity. Involved in synaptic target recognition. Located in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; embryonic/larval hemocyte; ganglia; gut section; and muscle cell. Orthologous to several human genes including LGALS9B (galectin 9B).
