Organism: Gallus gallus (Chicken).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Archelosauria; Archosauria; Dinosauria; Saurischia; Theropoda; Coelurosauria; Aves; Neognathae; Galloanserae; Galliformes; Phasianidae; Phasianinae; Gallus.
 
Function: This protein binds beta-galactoside. May participate in host antiviral defense through specific interaction with glycans on the viral envelope glycoproteins. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28978647}.
 
Subunit: Homodimer; disulfide-linked. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18848566}.
Subunit: (Microbial infection) Interacts with newcastle disease virus protein HN; this interaction inhibits viral adsorption rather than internalization. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28978647}.
Tissue specificity: Mainly in the intestine (adult), mainly in the skin (embryo).
