Cat#:PA-1483F;Product Name:Rat Anti-Galectin-3 Antibody;Synonym:L31; GAL3; MAC2; CBP35; GALBP; GALIG; LGALS2; Galactose specific lectin 3; L34; L-31; L-34; Laminin binding protein; Lectin L 29; MGC105387; Galectin-3;Background:This gene encodes a member of the galectin family of carbohydrate binding proteins. Members of this protein family have an affinity for beta-galactosides. The encoded protein is characterized by an N-terminal proline-rich tandem repeat domain and a single C-terminal carbohydrate recognition domain. This protein can self-associate through the N-terminal domain allowing it to bind to multivalent saccharide ligands. This protein localizes to the extracellular matrix, the cytoplasm and the nucleus. This protein plays a role in numerous cellular functions including apoptosis, innate immunity, cell adhesion and T-cell regulation. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants;Description:Rat Anti-Galectin-3 Monoclonal Antibody;Host Species:Rat;Species Reactivity:Human;Clone#:B1240N;Isotype:IgG2a,k;Application:WB, IHC, IP, ICC;Storage:Store antibody products at 2-8°C.
