They also possess hemagglutination activity, which is attributable to their bivalent carbohydrate binding properties. Galectins are active both intracellularly and extracellularly. Although they are localized primarily in the cytoplasm and lack a classical signal peptide, galectins can also be secreted by one or more unidentified, non-classical, secretory pathways. They have diverse effects on many cellular functions including adhesion, migration, polarity, chemotaxis, proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation. Galectins may therefore play a key role in many pathological states, including autoimmune diseases, allergic reactions, inflammation, tumor cell metastasis, atherosclerosis, and diabetic complications. The galectins have been classified into the prototype galectins(1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 11, 13, 14), which contain one CRD and exist either as a monomer or a noncovalent homodimer. The chimera galectins(Galectin3) containing one CRD linked to a nonlectin domain, and the tandemrepeat Galectins(4, 6, 8, 9, 12) consisting of two CRDs joined by a linker peptide.Galectins lack a classical signal peptide and can be localized to the cytosolic compartments where they have intracellular functions. However, via one or more as yet unidentified nonclassical secretory pathways, galectins can also be secreted to function extracellularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eConcentration\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eActivity\u003c\/b\u003e: Measured by its ability to agglutinate human red blood cells.The ED\u003csub\u003e50\u003c\/sub\u003e for this effect is \u0026lt;8 μg\/mL.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSequence\u003c\/b\u003e: Met 2-Trp 317\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePurity\u003c\/b\u003e:  \u0026gt; 98 % as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormulation\u003c\/b\u003e: Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4.\u003cbr\u003eNormally 5% - 8% trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.\u003cbr\u003ePlease refer to the specific buffer information in the printed manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eReconstitution\u003c\/b\u003e: Please refer to the printed manual for detailed information.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEndotoxin\u003c\/b\u003e:  \u0026lt; 0.1 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCalculated MW\u003c\/b\u003e: 36.6 kDa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eObservedMW\u003c\/b\u003e: 34 kDa\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GeneBio Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47978888855652,"sku":"PKSH032476","price":789.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/8588\/9636\/files\/no_image_default_image-jpeg_5c939e7d-32fe-4b2c-bc61-6132cde83795.jpg?v=1772296212","url":"https:\/\/www.genebiosystems.com\/en-us\/products\/recombinant-human-galectin-8-lgals8-protein","provider":"GeneBio ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
