Recombinant human Galectin-8 produced in
E. coli is a single, non-glycosylated, Polypeptide chain containing 317 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 35.8 kDa. The LGALS8 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Synonyms: Galectin-8, Gal-8, Po66 carbohydrate-binding protein, Po66-CBP, Prostate carcinoma tumor antigen 1, PCTA-1, LGALS8.
Formulation: LGALS8 was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution in 20 mM PBS, pH 7.4.
Physical Appearance: Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Purity: Greater than 95% as determined by: (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
Source:Escherichia coli. Amino acid sequence: The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Met-Met-Leu-Ser-Leu.
Uniprot ACC number: O00214
Transportation method: Shipped at room temperature.
Stability: Lyophilized LGALS8 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Galectin-8 should be stored at +4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Biological Activity: The ED50 of Galectin-8 as determined by its ability to agglutinate human red blood cells is 0.8~4 µg/ml.
Solubility: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Galectin-8 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H
2O not less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
