Galectin-8 Human Recombinant

Lyophilized powder at room temperature.

Galectin-8 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, Polypeptide chain containing 317 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 35.8kDa.The LGALS8 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
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.
Physical Appearance and Stability: Lyophilized LGALS8 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18C. Upon reconstitution Galectin-8 should be stored at 4C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18C.Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Formulation and Purity: LGALS8 was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution in 20mM PBS, pH 7.4. Greater than 95.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
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.
Biological Activity: The ED50 of Galectin-8 as determined by its ability to agglutinate human red blood cells is 0.8ca.4 ug/ml.
