Introduction
Galectin 3, or LGALS3, is a protein which belongs to the animal lectins family, that binds betagalactoside residues selectively. LGALS3 is originated and leaves cells through ectocytosis. The protein is capable of inhibition apoptosis and the development of cancer. Galectin 3 is found in epithelial tissues in organisms, it can be located in dendritic cells, Kupffer cells, macrophages etc. LGALS3 levels elevated when inflammation is generating, cell proliferation, trans-activation by viral proteins and cell differentiation.
Description
LGALS3 Mouse Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 287 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 29.8kDa.
LGALS3 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
