Galectin-7/LGALS7 Protein, Human (GST)
Galectin-7 (LGALS7), a protein with potential involvement in cell-cell and/or cell-matrix interactions crucial for normal growth control, serves as a pro-apoptotic factor. It functions intracellularly, playing a role upstream of JNK activation and cytochrome c release, thus contributing to apoptotic pathways. Galectin-7 exists as a monomer, highlighting its individual unit structure. Galectin-7/LGALS7 Protein, Human (GST) is the recombinant human-derived Galectin-7/LGALS7 protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-GST labeled tag.
- Species: Human
- Source: E. coli

Background
Galectin-7, also known as LGALS7, is a protein potentially involved in critical cell-cell and/or cell-matrix interactions essential for normal growth control. Functioning as a pro-apoptotic protein, Galectin-7 operates intracellularly upstream of JNK activation and cytochrome c release, suggesting its role in apoptotic pathways. It exists as a monomer, and its involvement in cellular interactions and apoptotic processes underscores its significance in regulating cell growth and survival. Understanding the functions of Galectin-7 provides valuable insights into the intricate molecular mechanisms governing normal cellular processes and apoptotic signaling.

Product Properties
Lyophilized powder.
<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.
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).
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.
Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
