Galectin 3 Antibody (BMS1043) in ICC/IF
Immunofluorescence analysis of Galectin3 was performed using 70% confluent log phase MDA-MB-231 cells. The cells were fixed with 4% Paraformaldehyde for 10 minutes, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton™ X-100 for 10 minutes, and blocked with 2% BSA for 45 minutes at room temperature. The cells were labeled with Galectin 3 Monoclonal Antibody (eBioM3/38 (M3/38)) (Product # BMS1043) at 5 µg/mL in 0.1% BSA, incubate... View More

Product Specific Information
Description: The Anti-human Galectin-3 (M3/38) antibody recognizes an epitope in the N-terminal half of lectin. 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.
Applications Tested: ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunohistochemistry, Immunoprecipitation, Western Blotting.
Target Information
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.
