Product Description:

Protein Description:

The galectin-1 protein is 135 amino acids in length and highly conserved across species. It can be found in the nucleus, the cytoplasm, the cell surface and in the extracellular space. Galectins, in general, lack a traditional signal sequence but are still secreted across the plasma membrane. Although galectins in general, and Gal-1 in particular, were first described as lectins that bind ض-galactosides, it is now clear from the literature that as well as being a lectin, Gal-1 is also engaged in many protein-protein interactions. Gal-1 plays a number of crucial roles in neuronal cell differentiation and survival in both the central and the peripheral nervous systems, and the establishment and maintenance of T-cell tolerance and homeostasis in vivo.

Protein Accession: P09382.2

Gene ID: 3956

Species: Human

Activity:

Measured by its ability to agglutinate human red blood cells. The ED50 for this effect is <2 ug/mL.

Endotoxin level: <0.1 EU per 1 ug of the protein by the LAL method.

Calculated Molecular Weight: 15.5 kDa

Formulation: The protein was lyophilized from a solution containing 1X PBS, pH 7.4.

Reconstitution:

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile H2O to a concentration not less than 100 ug/mL and incubate the stock solution for at least 20 min to ensure sufficient re-dissolved.

Shipping: Blue Ice

Stability and Storage:

Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20 degrees Celsius for 1 year. Upon reconstitution, store at 2 degrees Celsius to 8 degrees Celsius for up to 1 week. Further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein or stabilizer (e.g. 0.1% BSA, 10%FBS, 5%HSA or 5% trehalose solution), protein aliquots should be stored at -20 degrees Celsius or -80 degrees Celsius for 3-6 months.

Category: Cytokines
