LGALS2 Mouse, Active

Source: E.coli.Sterile Filtered colorless solution.Galectin-2 or LGALS2 is a protein, part of the galectin proteins family. The galectin proteins family holds galectin proteins family lectins that mediates adhesion between cells or cells to ECM. This family also take part in pre-mRNA splicing, apoptosis & tumor progression. Galectin-2 induces apoptosis in T cells that are activated & binds to lymphotoxin-a, also can implicatate on myocardial infarction. LGALS2 from human and mouse share about 65% amino acid sequence resemblance.LGALS2 Mouse Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 153 amino acids (1-130 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 17.3kDa.LGALS2 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Protein function: This protein binds beta-galactoside. Its physiological function is not yet known. [The UniProt Consortium]
