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 PBMCs at concentrations ranging from 2-220 μg/mL.
Physical State: Lyophilized
Purity and Specificity: Galectin-3 purity was determined to be greater than 97% as determined by analysis by UV-Spectroscopy at 280nm and by reducing and non-reducing SDS-pAGE.
Background: Galectin-3 belongs to a large family of carbohydrate-binding proteins called lectins. Galectin-3 is expressed by a wide range of cell types including activated T cells, tumor cells, macrophages, osteoclasts, fibroblasts and epithelial cells and interacts with β-galactoside sugar moieties. Galectin-3 is associated with cancer, heart failure, stroke and inflammation. Human and mouse Galectin-3 share an 80% homology by amino acid sequence. Recombinant human Galectin-3 is a non-glycosylated protein, containing 250 amino acids, with a molecular weight of 26 kDa.
