purity :
>98% by SDS-PAGE & Coomassie stain
storage stability :
The lyophilized human Galectin-l, though stable at room temperature, is best stored desiccated below O degree C. Reconstituted human Galectin-I should be stored in working aliquots at -20 degree C . Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles!
other info1 :
Endotoxin Level: < 0.1 ng per ug of Galectin-1
other info2 :
Biological Activity: Determine by its ability to chemoattract human blood monocytes. Chemotactic activity was observed at a concentration of 2.5 ug/ml with a peak response obatined at 250 ug/ml. Reconstitution: Human Galectin-I should be reconstituted in water to a concentration of 0.1 mg/mI. This solution can be diluted in water or other buffer solutions or stored at -20 degree C. Buffer: PBS. Stabilizer: None

products description :
Lectins, of either plant or animal ongm, are carbohydrate binding
proteins that interact with glycoprotein and glycolipids on the surface
of animal cells. Galectin-I (Gal-I) is one of 15 evolutionarily
conserved 13-galactoside-binding proteins that display biologicallydiverse
activities in pathogenesis of inflammation and cancer. Gal-I is
variably expressed on immune cells and endothelial cells, though is
commonly found and secreted at high levels in cancer cells. There is
also compelling evidence in models of cancer and autoimmunity that
recombinant Gal-I (rGal-l) can potentiate immunoregulatory function
of T cells. Galectin-I is an animal lectin that has been shown to interact
with CD3, CD4, and CD45. It induces apoptosis of activated T-cells
and T-Ieukemia cell lines through homodimeric binding of Nacetyllactosamines
on membrane glycoproteins (Gal-l ligands) and
inhibits the protein phosphatase activity of CD45. Recombinant human
Galectin-l is a 14.5 kDa protein containing 134 amino acid residues.

ncbi summary :
The galectins are a family of beta-galactoside-binding proteins implicated in modulating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. This gene product may act as an autocrine negative growth factor that regulates cell proliferation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
uniprot summary :
Function: May regulate apoptosis, cell proliferation and cell differentiation. Binds beta-galactoside and a wide array of complex carbohydrates. Inhibits CD45 protein phosphatase activity and therefore the dephosphorylation of Lyn kinase. Strong inducer of T-cell apoptosis. Ref.24 Ref.26 Ref.31. Subunit structure: Homodimer. Binds LGALS3BP. Interacts with CD2, CD3, CD4, CD7, CD43 and CD45. Interacts with laminin (via poly-N-acetyllactosamine). Ref.18 Ref.23 Ref.30 Ref.31. Subcellular location: Secreted extracellular space extracellular matrix Ref.24. Tissue specificity: Expressed in placenta, maternal decidua and fetal membranes. Within placenta, expressed in trophoblasts, stromal cells, villous endothelium, syncytiotrophoblast apical membrane and villous stroma. Within fetal membranes, expressed in amnion, chorioamniotic mesenchyma and chorion (at protein level). Expressed in cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscle, neurons, thymus, kidney and hematopoietic cells. Ref.4 Ref.26. Sequence similarities: Contains 1 galectin domain.
