LGALS8, 1-317aa, Human, His tag, E.coli (Bioactivity Validated)
Description
Purity: > 90% by SDS - PAGE Format: Liquid. In 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH8.0) containing 0.1M Nacl, 1mM DTT, 10% glycerol . 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.
