Tag	His Tag (N-term)
Predicted MW	The protein has a calculated MW of 27 kDa. The protein migrates as 32 kDa under reducing condition (SDS-PAGE analysis).
Purity	>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Buffer	The protein was lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered solution containing 1X PBS, pH 7.4.
Applications	Cell culture
Storage	Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C for 1 year. Upon reconstitution, store at 2°C to 8°C for up to 1 week. Further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein or stabilizer (e.g. 0.1% BSA, 10%FBS, 5%HSA or 5% trehalose solution), protein aliquots should be stored at -20°C or -80°C for 3-6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Bioactivity	Measured by its ability to chemoattract human PBMC using a concentration range of 2.5-25 μg/mL. Note: Results may vary from different PBMC donors.
Endotoxin	<0.1 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.
Reference Data
UniProt ID	P17931
Synonyms	IgE-binding protein, MAC2, L-29, CPB-35
Summary	Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is one of the lectin family members, which is the only chimera‑type galectin, containing one carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) connected to a long, flexible N‑terminal domain. The C‑terminal CRD is responsible for β-galactoside binding, and the N‑terminal domain is essential for its multimerization, and interaction with other intracellular proteins. Galectin-3 is predominantly presented in the cytoplasm and expressed on the cell surface, and then often secreted into biological fluids, such as serum and urine. Numerous studies have indicated that galectin-3 plays a crucial role in cell proliferation, apoptosis, gene expression, immune surveillance, inflammation, fibrosis, and host defense.
