Galectin 3 Active Protein | GAL3 active protein
Active Galectin 3 (GAL3)
20mM Tris, 150mM NaCl, pH8.0, containing 1mM EDTA, 1mM DTT, 0.01% SKL, 5% Trehalose and Proclin300.
Stability: The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37 degree C for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
Testing Data
(Galectin 3 (GAL3) is a member of the lectin family, of which 14 mammalian galectins have been identified. It is also a member of the beta-galactoside-binding protein family that plays an important role in cell-cell adhesion, cell-matrix interactions, macrophage activation, angiogenesis, metastasis, apoptosis. The protein also has been demonstrated to be involved in cancer, inflammation and fibrosis, heart disease, and stroke. GAL3 is expressed in the nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondrion, cell surface, and extracellular space. It also can agglutinate red blood. In this case, we choose rabbit erythrocyte (RaE) to assay its ability of agglutination. A general procedure for hemagglutination assay (HA) is as follows, two-fold dilute the recombinant rat GAL3 with 0.01M PBS (pH7.4), add 50L a serial dilution of GAL3 to each well of a U or V-bottom shaped 96-well microtiter plate. The final well serves as a negative control with no GAL3, replace with 50L 0.01M PBS. Then add 50L 1% RaE to each well and mixed gently. The plate is incubated for 1-2 hours at room temperature. The results are shown in Figure 1. The minimal effective concentration of GAL3 is 2.5g/mL. (A) 1% RaE treated with 2.5g/mL GAL3 for 2h; (B) Negative control without GAL3.Figure.

Product Notes
The GAL3 lgals3 (Catalog #AAA2122302) is an Active Protein and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The immunogen sequence is Met1~Ile262. AAA Biotech's Galectin 3 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Cell Culture, Activity Assays. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the GAL3 lgals3 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Galectin 3, Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
