anti-Galectin-7 Antibody

Galectin-7

Galectin7, Galectin 7, Galectin-7, Gal-7; Gal7, GAL7, GAL-7, HKL-14; PI7; p53-induced gene 1 protein, lectin

Galectin-7 belongs to growing family of evolutionary conserved animal lectins. Galectins consists of beta-galactoside binding lectins that contain homologous carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs). Galectin has the ability to induce apoptosis of activated T-cells and T-leukaemia cell lines. Other activities include cell differentiation and inhibition activity of CD45 protein phosphatase activity. Galectin also binds beta-galactoside as well as CD45, CD3 and CD4. Recombinant Human Galectin-7 is a 15.4 kDa protein consisting of 136 amino acid residues.

Recombinant human Galectin-7

0.5 mg/ml

Liquid

100 µg (0.5 mg/ml) affinity purified rabbit anti-human Galectin-7 polyclonal antibody in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.2, containing 30% glycerol, 0.5% BSA, 0.01% thimerosal.

Affinity purified

Western blot

Western blot analysis (0.5-4 µg/ml). Per researcher’s feedback, it can also be used in neutralization (5-10 µg/ml). However, the optimal conditions should be determined individually. Recombinant human Galectin-7 (Cat. #:4647-10) can be used as a positive control.

Shelf time: 12 months in temp.: -20 deg.C

gel pack

The antibody solution should be gently mixed before use.

This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided.

If you buy Antibodies supplied by Biovision they should be stored frozen at - 24°C for long term storage and for short term at + 5°C.
