Recombinant Mouse Lectin, Galactose Binding, Soluble 8, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: Lgals8-7204M
• Product Overview: Recombinant mouse LGALS8 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques. MW: 38 KDa.

Specification

• Description: LGALS8, also known as prostate-specific membrane antigen (PCTA1), is an additional prostate-specific antigen that is overexpressed only in malignant tumors and therefore is a more specific identifier of malignancies. It is a member of the galectin gene family which mediates both cell-cell and cell matrix interactions in a manner similar to the selectin subgroup of C-type lectins.
