Galectin-1, active (LGALS1), Recombinant, Human

May regulate apoptosis, cell proliferation and cell differentiation. Binds beta-galactoside and a wide array of complex carbohydrates. Inhibits CD45 protein phosphatase activity and therefore the dephosphorylation of Lyn kinase. Strong inducer of T-cell apoptosis. {ECO:0000269, PubMed:14617626, ECO:0000269, PubMed:18796645, ECO:0000269, PubMed:19497882}. Biological Activity: Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The biological activity determined by a chemotaxis bioassay using human blood monocytes is in a concentration range of 1.0-10ng/ml.
