Product Description:

Protein Description:

Galectin-8(LGALS8), a member of the galectin gene family, is identified to specifically express in prostate , and is espacially overexpressed in malignant tumors, thereby can be used as an extra specific identifier of malignancies. The gene encoded protein facilitates both cell-cell and cell matrix interactions in a method parallel to the selectin subgroup of C-type lectins.

Activity:

Measured by its ability to agglutinate human red blood cells. The ED50 for this effect is <8 ug/mL.

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

Calculated Molecular Weight: 36.6 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.
