Human Galectin-12 (LGALS12) ELISA Kit | LGALS12 elisa kit
Human Galectin-12 (LGALS12) ELISA Kit
* Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.
* Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.
* Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 degree C in the sealed bag provided.
* Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.
* It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.
Background: Galectins constitute a family of proteins that bind to beta-galactoside residues and have diverse physiological functions. Report on the identification of a galectin-like molecule, galectin-12, in a human adipose tissue cDNA library. The protein contained two potential carbohydrate-recognition domains with the second carbohydrate-recognition domain being less conserved compared with other galectins. Galectin-12 mRNA was predominantly expressed in adipose tissue of human and mouse and in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Caloric restriction and treatment of obese animals with troglitazone increased galectin-12 mRNA levels and decreased the average size of the cells in adipose tissue.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the galectin superfamily, a group of beta-galactoside-binding proteins with conserved carbohydrate recognition domains. The related mouse protein is a primary regulator of the early stages of adipose tissue development. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.

Uniprot Description
LGALS12: Binds lactose. May participate in the apoptosis of adipocytes. 6 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 11q13
Cellular Component: mitochondrion; nucleus
Molecular Function: lactose binding

Product Notes
The Human LGALS12 lgals12 (Catalog #AAA9715488) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9715488 ELISA Kit recognizes Human LGALS12. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Galectin-12 (LGALS12), ELISA Kit" 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
