Purity ~98% (SDS-PAGE). Lectins are carbohydrate binding proteins that interact with glycoprotein and glycolipids on the surface of animal cells. The Galectins are lectins that recognize and interact with beta-galactoside moieties. Galactin-3 regulates a number of biological processes, including embryogenesis, inflammatory responses, cell progression and metastasis. Galectin-3 can function intracellularly in controlling cell cycle and preventing T-cell apoptosis, and also extracellularly, in activating various cells, including monocytes/macrophages, mast cells, neutrophils, and lymphocytes. Recombinant Galectin-3 is a globular protein containing 250aa residues, but no disulfide bonds. Recombinant protein corresponding to human Galactin-3, expressed in E. coli. Biological Activity: Determined by its ability to chemoattract human blood monocytes. Chemotactic activity was observed at a concentration of 2.5ug/ml with a peak response obtained at 250ug/ml. Endotoxin: ≤0.1ng/ug
