Background: Galectin-3

Human Galectin-3 also named AGE-R3, CBP35, GAL3, L29, LGALS3, Mac-2, is belonging to the galectins family and it is encoded by a single gene, LGALS3, located on chromosome 14, locus q21-q22. It is expressed in the nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondrion, cell surface, and extracellular space. Galectin-3 is approximately 30 kDa and, like all galectins, contains a carbohydrate-recognition-binding domain (CRD) of about 130 amino acids that enable the specific binding of Beta-galactosides. Given Galectin-3's broad biological functionality, it has been demonstrated to be involved in cancer, inflammation and fibrosis, heart disease, and stroke. Studies have also shown that the expression of galectin-3 is implicated in a variety of processes associated with heart failure, including myofibroblast proliferation, fibrogenesis, tissue repair, inflammation, and Ventricular remodeling. Human Galectin-3 shares 79% amino acid sequence identity with rat and mouse Galectin-3, respectively.

Product Specific Notices for Recombinant Human Galectin-3 Protein

This lyophilized preparation is stable for 12 months from date of receipt at -20 to -70 degrees C, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation can be stored for 1 month at 2-8 degrees C under sterile conditions, and for 3 months at -20 degrees C to -70 degrees C. Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Stock solutions should be aliquoted and stored at < -20 degrees C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions

This product is for research use only and is not approved for use in humans or in clinical diagnosis. This product is guaranteed for 1 year from date of receipt.
