Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.\n\u003cb\u003eBackground\u003c\/b\u003e\nGalectins are a family of β-galactose binding proteins that are characterized by their affinity for poly-N-acetyllactosamine-enriched glycoconjugates and their carbohydrate-binding site (1,2). Members of the galectin family have been implicated in a variety of biological functions including cell adhesion (3), growth regulation (4), cytokine production (5), T cell apoptosis (6), and immune responses (7). Galectin-1\/LGALS1 has been shown to be expressed in a wide range of tissues and cell types. The level and pattern of expression of galectin-1 have been shown to change during development (8). In addition to a role in developmental processes, galectin-1 has been shown to be involved in central immune tolerance and may function in tumorigenesis by modulating the immune response to the tumor (9,10). Research studies have shown that galectin-1 expression is increased in several human cancers, suggesting a correlation with metastatic potential (10).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\n14 kDa laminin-binding protein; 14 kDa lectin; Beta-galactoside-binding lectin L-14-I; beta-galactoside-binding protein 14kDa; DKFZp686E23103; epididymis secretory sperm binding protein; Gal-1; GAL1; Galaptin; galectin 1; Galectin-1; GBP; HBL; HLBP14; HPL; Lactose-binding lectin 1; Lectin galactoside-binding soluble 1; lectin, galactoside-binding, soluble, 1; LEG1; LGALS1; Putative MAPK-activating protein PM12; S-Lac lectin 1\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H M R\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 15\nSOURCE: Rabbit","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46799807807657,"sku":"5418S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-5418s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
