Recombinant human Galectin-8/LGALS8 protein

SDS-PAGE, Bioactivity

Can be stored at +2C to +8C for 1 week. For long term storage, aliquot and store at -20C to -80C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles.

LGALS8, also known as prostate-specific membrane antigen (PCTA1), is an additional prostate-specific antigen that is overexpressed only in malignant tumors and therefore is a more specific identifier of malignancies. It is a member of the galectin gene family which mediates both cell-cell and cell matrix interactions in a manner similar to the selectin subgroup of C-type lectins. Recombinant human LGALS8 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
