Galectin 3 Monoclonal Antibody (eBioM3/38 (M3/38)), eBioscience™, Invitrogen™
Rat Monoclonal Antibody
Brand: Invitrogen 14-5301-81
Description
Description: The eBioM3/38 antibody reacts with mouse Galectin-3 (Mac-2). Galectins are a family of animal lectins which appear to exhibit a variety of biological functions. Galectin 3 (aka LGALS3, galactose-specific soluble lectin 3, Mac-2, L-29) is one of the more extensively studied members of this family and is a 30 kDa beta-galactoside-binding protein. Due to a C-terminal carbohydrate binding site, Galectin 3 is capable of binding IgE and mammalian cell surfaces only when homodimerized or homo-oligomerized. Galectin 3 is normally distributed in epithelia of many organs and various inflammatory cells, including macrophages, as well as dendritic cells and Kupffer cells. The expression of this lectin is up-regulated during inflammation, cell proliferation, cell differentiation and through trans-activation by viral proteins. This monoclonal antibody eBioM3/38 crossreacts to human Galectin-3 (LGALS3). Applications Reported: This eBioM3/38 (M3/38) antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis, immunoprecipitation, immunoblotting (WB), immunohistology staining of frozen tissue sections, immunohistology staining of paraffin embedded tissue sections, and ELISA. Applications Tested: This eBioM3/38 (M3/38) antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse PECs (thioglycollated elicied peritioneal cells). This can be used at less than or equal to 0.25 μg per test.
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.Specifications
