Description :
Recombinant Human Galectin-7 produced in E. coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 135 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 15 kDa.Galectins are a family of animal lectins with an affinity for -galactosides. There are at least 14 members identified. Galectins share similarities in carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD). Galectins are synthesized as cytosolic proteins. Although localized primarily in the cytoplasm and lacking a classical signal peptide, galectins can also be stimulated to secretion by non-classical pathways or alternatively targeted to the nucleus. Human Galectin-7 is a member of prototypical Galectins containing a single CRD, which is initially identified in human epidermis as a monomer. Galectin-7 expression is induced by tumor suppressor protein p53 and associated with apoptosis. It is a pro-apoptotic protein that functions intracellularlly upstream of JNK activation and mitochondrial cytochrome c release. The association of Galectin-7 with the UV-induced apoptosis of keratinocytes presents an essential mechanism in the maintenance of epidermal homeostasis. Human Galectin-7 is localized in both nucleus and cytoplasm as revealed by the study of LGALS7 gene transfected cell. It shares approximately 79% sequence identity with the mouse protein.
Form :
The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution in 20mM PBS, pH 7.4.
Purity :
Greater than 95% as determined by (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC; (b) Analysis by reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE Silver Stained gel.
Storage :
Lyophilized rHuGalectin-7 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18 C. Upon reconstitution rHuGalectin-7 should be stored at 4 C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18 C. For long-term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
