Description

General description

Recombinant, human galectin-3 expressed in and purified from E. coli. Galectin-3 is a member of the β-galactoside-binding animal lectins. It has been implicated to be involved in various immunological processes, pre-mRNA splicing, cell adhesion, and tumor invasion. Levels of galectin-3 have been reported to be elevated in several metastatic cancers.

Physical form

Lyophilized from diH₂O.

Preparation Note

Following reconstitution refrigerate (4°C). Stock solutions containing lactose are stable for up to 6 months at 4°C. Following dialysis and removal of lactose, stock solutions are stable for up to 4 days at 4°C.

Reconstitute in sterile PBS. For use in carbohydrate binding studies, lactose should be removed by dialysis.
