Galectin-14/LGALS14 Protein(C-6His) (recombinant human)

Protein Construction: Recombinant Human Galectin-14 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Met1-Asp139 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. Sequence: Met 1-Asp139. Fusion tag: C-6His Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU per µg as determined by the LAL method. Apparent Molecular Mass: 16 kDa. Protein function: Galectin-14 is a member of the Galectin family of carbohydrate binding proteins. The members of Galectin family contain one or two carbohydrate recognition domains, which can bind ß-Galactoside. LGALS14 is expressed intracellularly in placenta and eosinophils, and is released by eosinophils following allergen stimulation. LGALS14 may be involved in the development of allergic inflammation. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been observed. Protein function: Binds beta-galactoside and lactose. Strong inducer of T- cell apoptosis.
