Name : Human Galectin 3 Protein

Product Source :
Recombinant Human Galectin 3 Protein is expressed from HEK293 with His tag at the N-Terminus. It contains Ala2-Ile250.[Accession | P17931]

Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 27.1 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 35-45 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.

Endotoxin Level :
Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method.

Purity :
> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE

Formulation :
Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in 50mM HEPES, 150mM NaCl, 5mM EDTA, 2mM TCEP (pH 7.4). Normally 8% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.

Reconstitution :
Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water.

Storage and Stability :
-20 to -80°C for 12 months as supplied from date of receipt.-80°C for 3-6 months after reconstitution.2-8°C for 2-7 days after reconstitution.Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Product Concentration :
Tris-Bis PAGE Human Galectin 3 on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%. ELISA Data Immobilized Human Galectin 3, His Tag at 1μg/ml (100μl/Well) on the plate. Dose response curve for Anti-Galectin 3 Antibody, hFc Tag with the EC50 of 4.5ng/ml determined by ELISA (QC Test).

Background :
Human Galectin-3, also known as Mac-2, L29, CBP35, and epsilon BP, is classified as a chimeric member of the Galectin superfamily and contains one carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) linked to a nonlectin domain.Galactose-specific lectin which binds IgE. May mediate with the alpha-3, beta-1 integrin the stimulation by CSPG4 of endothelial cells migration. Together with DMBT1, required for terminal differentiation of columnar epithelial cells during early embryogenesis (By similarity).

Synonyms :
AGE-R3; CBP35; GAL3; Gal-3; galactin-3; GALBPCBP35; Galectin3; GALIG; L29; L31; Lectin L-29; LGALS2; LGALS3; Mac-2; MAC2GAL3
