Galectin-1, Human, Recombinant, E. coli

Recombinant human galectin-1 expressed in and purified from E. coli. Galectins are a family of evolutionarily conserved animal lectins with affinity for β-galactosides that have homologous carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs). Galectin-1 can induce apoptosis of activated T cells and leukemic T cell lines. It also binds to CD45 and inhibits its protein phosphatase activity.

Lyophilized from sterile-filtered 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5.

Following reconstitution, aliquot and freeze (-20°C). Stock solutions are stable for up to 6 months at -20°C. Diluted working solutions are stable for up to 1 week at 4°C or for up to 1 month at -20°C.

Further dilute into aqueous buffers as needed.
