Purity ~95% (RP-HPLC, SDS-PAGE). LGALS2 is a soluble beta-galactoside binding lectin that controls cell-to-cell adhesion and cell-to-extracellular matrix interactions and takes part in tumor progression, pre-mRNA splicing and apoptosis. LGALS2 induces apoptosis in activated T cells and binds to the cytokine lymphotoxin-alpha (LTA) with threat of myocardial infarction. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to human Galectin-2, a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 152aa (aa1-132), fused to a 20aa His-tag at N-terminal, expressed in E. coli.
