Rat Galectin-9 (LGALS9) 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: Galectin-9 (Gal-9) is a member of animal lectins that have an affinity to beta-galactosides. Gal-9 was first cloned from tumor tissues of Hodgkin's disease that is frequently characterized by eosinophilia. Galectins exhibit various biological functions, such as cell aggregation and adhesion, proliferation,cell death, modulation of inflammation and metastasis.First, Gal-9/ecalectin was identified as a potent T cellderived eosinophil chemoattractant (ECA). Gal-9 exhibits ECA activity in vitro and in vivo, activates eosinophils, and influences eosinophil survival. It requires divalent galactoside- binding activity but not its linker peptide to exhibit its functions, and some matrix metalloproteinases are involved in the release.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
a highly selective urate transporter/channel [RGD, Feb 2006]
Uniprot Description
Binds galactosides (). Has high affinity for the Forssman pentasaccharide (). Ligand for HAVCR2/TIM3 (). Binding to HAVCR2 induces T-helper type 1 lymphocyte (Th1) death (). Also stimulates bactericidal activity in infected macrophages by causing macrophage activation and IL1B secretion which restricts intracellular bacterial growth (). Ligand for P4HB; the interaction retains P4HB at the cell surface of Th2 T helper cells, increasing disulfide reductase activity at the plasma membrane, altering the plasma membrane redox state and enhancing cell migration (). Ligand for CD44; the interaction enhances binding of SMAD3 to the FOXP3 promoter, leading to up-regulation of FOXP3 expression and increased induced regulatory T (iTreg) cell stability and suppressive function (). Promotes ability of mesenchymal stromal cells to suppress T-cell proliferation (). Expands regulatory T-cells and induces cytotoxic T-cell apoptosis following virus infection (). Activates ERK1/2 phosphorylation inducing cytokine (IL-6, IL-8, IL-12) and chemokine (CCL2) production in mast and dendritic cells (). Inhibits degranulation and induces apoptosis of mast cells (). Induces maturation and migration of dendritic cells (). Inhibits natural killer (NK) cell function (). Can transform NK cell phenotype from peripheral to decidual during pregnancy (). Astrocyte derived galectin-9 enhances microglial TNF production (PubMed:25158758). May play a role in thymocyte-epithelial interactions relevant to the biology of the thymus. May provide the molecular basis for urate flux across cell membranes, allowing urate that is formed during purine metabolism to efflux from cells and serving as an electrogenic transporter that plays an important role in renal and gastrointestinal urate excretion (PubMed:8995305). Highly selective to the anion urate (PubMed:8995305).

Product Notes
The Rat LGALS9 lgals9 (Catalog #AAA9712365) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9712365 ELISA Kit recognizes Rat LGALS9. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Galectin-9 (LGALS9), 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
