Placental protein 13 (PP13, also known as galectin-13) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LGALS13 gene.
Lysophospholipases are enzymes that act on biological membranes to regulate the multifunctional lysophospholipids. The protein encoded by this gene has lysophospholipase activity. It is composed of two identical subunits which are held together by disulfide bonds. This protein has structural similarity to several members of the beta-galactoside-binding S-type lectin family.

Placental protein 13 (PP13, also known as galectin-13) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LGALS13 gene.
==Structure and function== 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. It is a galectin-like protein.
