Anti-Galectin-3 (human),Unconjugated Clone B-S43 [Mouse]

Specificity: Recognises both natural and recombinant protein, Format: Phosphate-buffered saline with 1% BSA and 0.09% sodium azide, Working Dilution: Use 10 µl to label 106 cells or 100 µl of whole blood, Storage: Stable at +2-8°C for 12 months. For longer storage, freeze aliquots., Application Notes: Suitable for Flow Cytometry Protein function: Galactose-specific lectin which binds IgE. May mediate with the alpha-3, beta-1 integrin the stimulation by CSPG4 of endothelial cells migration. Together with DMBT1, required for terminal differentiation of columnar epithelial cells during early embryogenesis. In the nucleus: acts as a pre-mRNA splicing factor. Involved in acute inflammatory responses including neutrophil activation and adhesion, chemoattraction of monocytes macrophages, opsonization of apoptotic neutrophils, and activation of mast cells. Together with TRIM16, coordinates the recognition of membrane damage with mobilization of the core autophagy regulators ATG16L1 and BECN1 in response to damaged endomembranes. [The UniProt Consortium]
