Extra Details:
Galectin-3 belongs to a large family of carbohydrate-binding proteins called lectins. Galectin-3 is expressed by a wide range of cell types including activated T cells, tumor cells, macrophages, osteoclasts, fibroblasts and epithelial cells and interacts with B Beta-galactoside sugar moieties. Galectin-3 is associated with cancer, heart failure, stroke and inflammation. Human and mouse Galectin-3 share an 80% homology by amino acid sequence. Recombinant human Galectin-3 is a non-glycosylated protein, containing 250 amino acids, with a molecular weight of 26 kDa.

SDS-PAGE of Human Galectin-3 Recombinant Protein. Lane 1: Molecular weight marker. Lane 2: 1 ug Human Galectin-3 in reducing conditions (+). Lane 3: Molecular weight marker. Lane 4: 1 ug Human Galectin-3 in non-reducing conditions (-). Human Galectin-3 has a predicted MW of 26 kDa.
Bioactivity of Human Galectin-3 Recombinant Protein. Human PBMCs were allowed to migrate to Human Galectin 3 at (0, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 ug/mL). After 1 hour, cells that migrated were counted using a luminescent substrate and displayed on the bar graph above. Significant increases in migration over basal levels were seen in response to Human Galectin 3 starting at 1 ug/mL. This value is comparable to expected ranges of a chemotactic response of primary human monocytes.
