| Galectins are a new family of animal lectins which appear to exhibit a variety of biological functions and may in fact be a broad-spectrum biological response modifier. Galectin 3 is one of the more extensively studied member of this family and is a 30kD protein known by various other names including eBP (IgE binding protein), Mac-2, CBP-30 and L-29. Due to a C-terminal carbohydrate binding site, Galectin 3 is capable of binding IgE and mammalian cell surfaces only when homodimerized or homooligomerized. This antibody has been shown to potentiate the binding of Galectin 3 to IgG. Among its numerous proposed functions, Galectin 3 may be a component of a cell-growth regulating system given its elevated expression and nuclear localization in proliferating cells. It has also been found to be a major non-integrin laminin-binding protein suggesting a role in cell adhesion. One of its more interesting proposed functions is as an inhibitor of apoptosis. Galectin 3 shares an NWGR motif with Bcl-2 which has been shown to be an important region in Bcl-2 for suppression of apoptosis. Galectin 3 has been shown to interact with Bcl-2 which may account for the ability of Galectin 3 to suppress programmed cell death in anti-Fas (an apoptosis inducer) treated Jurkat cells transfected with Galectin 3. In contrast to Galectin 3, Galectin 1 actually induces apoptosis when added to cultures of activated human T cells. | | | Catalog # | G1044-50B | | Applications | Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested. | | Recommended Dilution | ELISA: To detect hGalectin-3 by direct ELISA (using 100ul/well antibody solution) this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.15-0.30ug/ml. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, allows the detection of at least 0.2ng/well of recombinant hGalectin-3. | | Western Blot: To detect hGalectin-3 by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1-0.2ug/ml. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant hGalectin-3 is 1.5-3.0ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions. | | Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. | | Reconstitution | Reconstitute to a concentration of 50ug/ml with sterile PBS solution containing 0.1% BSA, 40-50% glycerol. | | Storage and Stability | Lyophilized powder may be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Reconstitute to nominal volume by adding sterile 40-50% glycerol and store at -20°C. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. | | Country of Origin | USA | | CAS Number | n/a | | Clone Type | Polyclonal | | Isotype | IgG | | Host | Rabbit | | Source | Human | | Concentration | ~0.05mg/ml | | Form | Supplied as a lyophilized powder from a sterile-filtered PBS solution. Conjugated to Biotin. | | Purity | Purified by affinity chromatography. | | Immunogen | Highly pure (> 98%) recombinant human Galectin-3 | | Specificity | Recognizes human Galectin-3. | | | Important Note | This product as supplied is intended for research use only, not for use in human, therapeutic or diagnostic applications without the expressed written authorization of United States Biological. |
