Name : Mouse Galectin 3 Protein

Product Source :
Recombinant Mouse Galectin 3 Protein is expressed from HEK293 with His tag at the C-Terminus. It contains Ala2-Ile264.[Accession | P16110]

Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 28.5 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 43-50 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.

Endotoxin Level :
Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method.

Purity :
> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE

Formulation :
Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in PBS, 300mM L-arginine (pH 7.4). Normally 8% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.

Reconstitution :
Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water.

Storage and Stability :
-20 to -80°C for 12 months as supplied from date of receipt.-80°C for 3-6 months after reconstitution.2-8°C for 2-7 days after reconstitution.Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Product Concentration :
Tris-Bis PAGE Mouse Galectin 3 on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%.

Background :
Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is a 30 kDa β-galactose, highly conserved and widely distributed intracellularly and extracellularly. Gal-3 has been demonstrated in recent years to be a novel inflammatory factor participating in the process of intravascular inflammation, lipid endocytosis, macrophage activation, cellular proliferation, monocyte chemotaxis, and cell adhesion.

Synonyms :
AGE-R3; CBP35; GAL3; Gal-3; galactin-3; GALBPCBP35; Galectin3; GALIG; L29; L31; Lectin L-29; LGALS2; LGALS3; Mac-2; MAC2GAL3
