Galectin-1 Human Recombinant ( LGALS1 Human )

Data sheet

Formulation

The Galectin-1 protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) containing 10mM sodium phosphate, pH-7.5.

Solubility

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized LGALS1 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 SDS-PAGE.

Description

LGALS1 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 135 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 14.7kDa.The LGALS1 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Protein Background

The galectins are a family of beta-galactoside-binding proteins implicated in modulating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. Galectin-1 is an autocrine negative growth factor that regulates cell proliferation. Galectin-1 regulates cell apoptosis and c

Expression host

Escherichia Coli.

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Stability

Lyophilized Galectin-1 Recombinant although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Galectin-1 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is
