Data sheet

Reconstitution 1mg/ml in PBS (after reconstitution).
Formulation LGALS8 was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution in 20mM PBS, pH 7.4.
Solubility It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Galectin-8 in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Purity Greater than 95.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Protein Background Galectins are a family of animal lectins with an affinity for beta-galactosides. This family has at least 14 identified members. Galectins share similarities in the CRD (the carbohydrate recognition domain). Galectins are synthesized as cytosolic proteins. Though localized principally in the cytoplasm and lacking a classical signal peptide, galectins can also be stimulated to secretion by non-classical pathways or alternatively targeted to the nucleus. Galectins are involved in modulating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. Galectin-8 is a tandem-repeat-type member of the galectin family, consisting of 2 CRDs attached by a linker peptide. Galectin-8 is greatly expressed in lung carcinomas, a number of forms of prostate carcinomas, in addition to other tumor cells. Galectin-8 attaches to a subset of cell surface integrins to modulate ECM-integrin interactions. Once immobilized, Galectin-8 promotes cell adhesion by ligation and clustering of cell surface integrin receptors. On the other hand, as a soluble ligand, Galectin-8 can inhibit cell adhesion.
Expression host Escherichia Coli.
Synonyms Galectin-8, Gal-8, Po66 carbohydrate-binding protein, Po66-CBP, Prostate carcinoma tumor antigen 1, PCTA-1, LGALS8.
Reagent Appearance Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Stability Lyophilized LGALS8 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Galectin-8 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Amino acid sequence The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Met-Met-Leu-Ser-Leu.
Biological Activity The ED50 of Galectin-8 as determined by its ability to agglutinate human red blood cells is 0.8~4 ug/ml.
Antibody Properties Reconstitute with of H20. Mix gently, wash the sides of the vial and wait 30-60 seconds before use.
Available Conjugates Cytotoxic and staining antibody. For staining, use 10ml/1,000,000 cells. Titer for cytotoxicity should be determined by the investigator.
Product Description Recognizes most mouse H-2K haplotypes (k,p,q,r,s). Does NOT react with H-2kd.
