    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Galectin-3/LGALS3 (E7B6R) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total Galectin-3/LGALS3 protein. This antibody recognizes mouse Galectin-3/LGALS3 protein and is also reactive with human Galectin-3/LGALS3; however, this antibody is not suggested for immunohistochemical analysis of human tissues.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Gly15 of mouse Galectin-3/LGALS3 protein.

    Background

    Galectins are a family of β-galactose binding proteins that are characterized by an affinity for poly-N-acetyllactosamine-enriched glycoconjugates and a 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-3/LGALS3 is involved in several diverse biological functions. Galectin-3/LGALS3 binds IgE (8). Galectin-3/LGALS3 is an unusual protein in that it can be found both extracellularly and intracellularly. Intracellularly, Galectin-3/LGALS3 can localize to the cytoplasm, nucleus, or both, depending on cell type and experimental conditions. Nuclear Galectin-3/LGALS3 has been identified as a pre-mRNA splicing factor (9). Galectin-3/LGALS3 production has been shown to increase during inflammation and in obesity, and the protein itself can have an inflammatory effect under certain conditions (10). Galectin-3/LGALS3 forms a complex with α3, β1 integrin to act as a surface receptor on endothelial cells for the NG2 proteoglycan, which triggers cell motility and angiogenesis (11). In addition to these functions, Galectin-3/LGALS3 is also a required factor for the terminal differentiation of epithelial cells (12).
