Human recombinant Galectin-12 protein, AF

About this product

Galectin-12 (Gal-12) is a lectin family member and is one of the tandem repeat-type galectins containing two carbohydrate recognition domains (CRD) connected by a linker region in a single peptide chain. The CRD is responsible for β-galactoside binding and is required to interact with the VPS13C protein. It has been reported that galectin-12 is presented in the adipose tissue but also expressed in macrophages and other leukocytes. Galectin-12 participates in many biological activities including cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, and cell differentiation. Moreover, galectin-12 has emerged as a crucial factor in driving the macrophage to M1 polarization, leading to inflammation and reducing insulin sensitivity in adipocytes.

Bioactivity

Testing in process

Form

The protein was lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution containing 1X PBS, pH 7.4. If you have any concerns or special requirements, please confirm with us.

Reconstitution

Centrifuge at 3000 rpm for 5 mins before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile H2O to a concentration not less than 100 μg/mL and incubate the stock solution at room temperature for at least 20 mins to ensure sufficient re-dissolved. Do Not Vortex! Vigorous shaking may impair the biological activity of the protein.

Molecular Weight

The protein has a calculated MW of 38.4 kDa. The protein migrates as 38 kDa under reducing condition (SDS-PAGE analysis) .

Storage Conditions

Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C for 1 year. Upon reconstitution, store at 2°C to 8°C for up to 1 week. Further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein or stabilizer (e.g. 0.1% BSA, 10%FBS, 5%HSA or 5% trehalose solution), protein aliquots should be stored at -20°C or -80°C for 3-6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
