Description

The Galectin-3/LGALS3 protein is a galactose-specific lectin known for its diverse roles in cellular processes. It binds IgE and synergizes with α-3 and β-1 integrins to promote CSPG4-induced endothelial cell migration. Galectin-3/LGALS3 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived Galectin-3/LGALS3 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-6*His labeled tag.

Background

The Galectin-3/LGALS3 Protein is a galactose-specific lectin known for its versatile roles in cellular processes. It binds IgE and, in collaboration with the alpha-3, beta-1 integrin, facilitates CSPG4-induced migration of endothelial cells. Together with DMBT1, it is crucial for the terminal differentiation of columnar epithelial cells during early embryogenesis. In the nucleus, the protein serves as a pre-mRNA splicing factor and is actively involved in acute inflammatory responses, influencing neutrophil activation, adhesion, chemoattraction of monocytes and macrophages, opsonization of apoptotic neutrophils, and mast cell activation. Its partnership with TRIM16 allows for the coordinated recognition of membrane damage, triggering the mobilization of core autophagy regulators ATG16L1 and BECN1 in response to damaged endomembranes. The protein likely forms homo- or heterodimers and engages with various partners, including DMBT1, CD6, ALCAM, ITGA3, ITGB1, CSPG4, LGALS3BP, LYPD3, ZFTRAF1, UACA, TRIM16, and TMED10, facilitating diverse cellular interactions, including autophagy and secretion.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
