Related Product Information for LGALS3 protein

Background: Galectin-3(LGALS3) is also known as Galactose-specific lectin 3, Mac-2 antigen, Carbohydrate-binding protein 35, Laminin-binding protein and Galactoside-binding protein. LGALS3 is highly expressed in early stages of papillary carcinoma, and lowly during tumor progression. LGALS3 is probably forms homo-or heterodimers and secreted by a non-classical secretory pathway and associates with the cell surface. LGALS3 plays an important role during the acquisition of vasculogenic mimicry and angiogenic properties. LGLAS3 takes part in an immune regulator to inhibit T-cell immune responses and promote tumor growth, as a result providing a new mechanism for tumor immune tolerance.
Description: Recombinant Human Galectin-3 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Ala2-Ile250 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a member of the galectin family of carbohydrate binding proteins. Members of this protein family have an affinity for beta-galactosides. The encoded protein is characterized by an N-terminal proline-rich tandem repeat domain and a single C-terminal carbohydrate recognition domain. This protein can self-associate through the N-terminal domain allowing it to bind to multivalent saccharide ligands. This protein localizes to the extracellular matrix, the cytoplasm and the nucleus. This protein plays a role in numerous cellular functions including apoptosis, innate immunity, cell adhesion and T-cell regulation. The protein exhibits antimicrobial activity against bacteria and fungi. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]

Uniprot Description

Galactose-specific lectin which binds IgE. May mediate with the alpha-3, beta-1 integrin the stimulation by CSPG4 of endothelial cells migration. Together with DMBT1, required for terminal differentiation of columnar epithelial cells during early embryogenesis (). In the nucleus: acts as a pre-mRNA splicing factor. Involved in acute inflammatory responses including neutrophil activation and adhesion, chemoattraction of monocytes macrophages, opsonization of apoptotic neutrophils, and activation of mast cells.
