Purity: > 95% by SDS - PAGE Format: Liquid. In 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH8.0) containing 0.2M Nacl, 1mM DTT, 10% glycerol . LGALS2, also known as galectin2, is a soluble beta-galactoside binding lectin that modulates cell-to-cell adhesion and cell-to-extracellular matrix interactions and play a role in tumor progression, pre-mRNA splicing and apoptosis. This protein induces apoptosis in activated T cells and binds to the cytokine lymphotoxin-alpha (LTA) with possible implications in risk of myocardial infarction. Recombinant human Galectin 2 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
