Galectin-2, His tag, human recombinant (rmLGALS2-His)

LGALS2 mouse recombinant produced in E. coli is a single polypeptide chain containing 153 amino acids (1-130) and having a molecular mass of 17.3kDa. LGALS2 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus. LGALS2 is a soluble beta-galactoside binding lectin that controls cell-to-cell adhesion and cell-to-extracellular matrix interactions and takes part in tumor progression, pre-mRNA splicing and apoptosis. LGALS2 induces apoptosis in activated T cells and binds to the cytokine lymphotoxin-alpha (LTA) with threat of myocardial infarction.
