Beschreibung

General description

Recombinant, human galectin-3 expressed in E. coli and subsequently cleaved with Clostridium histolyticum collagenase type VII to yield galectin-3C. The resulting galectin-3C is purified by affinity chromatography. Galectin-3C is a truncated form of galectin-3 that contains the carbohydrate binding domain but lacks the 107 amino acids at the N-terminus of galectin-3. It is suggested to play a key role in autoimmune diseases, allergic reactions, inflammation, tumor cell metastasis, atherosclerosis, and diabetes.

Physical form

Lyophilized from deionized water, 2µg lactose/µg lectin.

Preparation Note

Following reconstitution, aliquot and freeze (-20°C). Stock solutions (in the presence of a molar excess of lactose) are stable for up to 4 months at -20°C. For use in carbohydrate binding assays the solution should be dialyzed to remove the lactose stabilizer.
