Other Performance Data: Endotoxin Level: Measured by kinetic LAL analysis and is typically ≤ 1 EU/μg protein. Biologic Activity: The activity is determined by the ability to induce chemotaxis of human blood monocytes or THP-1 with a typical range of 0.5 – 3.0 μg/mL.
Physical State: Lyophilized
Purity and Specificity: Galectin-1 purity was determined to be greater than 95% as determined by analysis by UV-Spectroscopy at 280nm and by reducing and non-reducing SDS-pAGE.
Background: Galectin-1 belongs to a large family of carbohydrate-binding proteins called lectins. Galectin-1can be either monomeric or homodimeric and is found in a wide variety of cells and tissue types. Galectin-1 can control cell growth, proliferation, induce apoptosis of activated T cells while it can also modulate cytokine secretion or inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokine production. Galectin-1 plays an important role in acute and chronic inflammation. Recombinant human Galectin-1 is a non-glycosylated protein, containing134 amino acids, with a molecular weight of 14.5 kDa.
