Galectin-1, Human

Sequence: ACGLVASNLN LKPGECLRVR GEVAPDAKSF VLNLGKDSNN LCLHFNPRFN AHGDANTIVC NSKDGGAWGT EQREAVFPFQ FDQANLTVKL PDGYEFKFPN RLNLEAINYM AADGDFKIKC with polyhistidine tag at the N-terminus Endotoxin level: <0.1 EU per 1 µg of the protein by the LAL method. Protein function: Lectin that binds beta-galactoside and a wide array of complex carbohydrates. Plays a role in regulating apoptosis, cell proliferation and cell differentiation. Inhibits CD45 protein phosphatase activity and therefore the dephosphorylation of Lyn kinase. Strong inducer of T-cell apoptosis. [The UniProt Consortium]
