Galectin-2/LGALS2 Protein, Human (GST)

The Galectin-2 (LGALS2) protein binds with affinity to β-galactopyranoside and forms homodimers, indicating a basic functional organization. Although the physiological role is unclear, β-galactoside binding of LGALS2 suggests a possible involvement in recognition of specific carbohydrates. Galectin-2/LGALS2 Protein, Human (GST) is the recombinant human-derived Galectin-2/LGALS2 protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-GST labeled tag. The total length of Galectin-2/LGALS2 Protein, Human (GST) is 132 a.a., with molecular weight of ~41.6 kDa.

The Galectin-2 (LGALS2) protein demonstrates an affinity for binding beta-galactosides, yet its precise physiological function remains unclear. Structurally, it forms homodimers, indicating a fundamental organization in its functional state. While the specific role of LGALS2 in cellular processes is yet to be elucidated, its ability to bind to beta-galactosides suggests potential involvement in recognizing and interacting with specific carbohydrate structures. The homodimeric arrangement further implies a cooperative mechanism in its functional activity, emphasizing the need for further exploration to unveil the intricate biological significance of LGALS2 in cellular contexts and molecular interactions.
