Background Information: Galectin-7 belongs to growing family of evolutionary conserved animal lectins. Galectins consists of β-galactoside binding lectins that contain homologous carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs). Galectin has the ability to induce apoptosis of activated T-cells and T-leukaemia cell lines. Other activities include cell differentiation and inhibition activity of CD45 protein phosphatase activity. Galectin also binds β-galactoside as well as CD45, CD3 and CD4. Recombinant Human Galectin-7 is a 15.4 kDa protein consisting of 136 amino acid residues
Handling: Centrifuge the vial prior to opening.
Usage: For Research Use Only! Not to be used in humans.
