  • also called variant 1 or variant beta-D
  • glycoprotein
  • catalyzing the cleavage of the terminal galactose
  • 13 splicing 2195 60.6 546 perinuclear area of the cytoplasm but not to lysosomes Morreau (1994)
  • also called variant 3 or variant beta or S-GAL
  • glycoprotein
  • having no beta-galactosidase catalytic activity
  • playing functional roles in the formation of extracellular elastic fibers (elastogenesis) and in the development of connective tissue
  • functioning as a recycling molecular chaperone which facilitates the secretions of tropoelastin and its assembly into elastic fibers
  • identical to elastin/laminin binding protein
