Recombinant Human Lectin, Galactoside-Binding, Soluble, 9, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: LGALS9-1937H
• Product Overview: Recombinant human Galectin-9 protein fused to his-tag was expressed inE.coliand purified by using conventional chromatography techniques. 18.5kDa (168aa).

Specification

• Cat. No.: LGALS9-1937H
• Description: Galectin-9 (Gal-9) is a member of animal lectins that have an affinity to ß-galactosides and Forssman pentasaccharide. It is strongly overexpressed in Hodgkin"s disease tissue and it might participate in the interaction between the H&RS cells with their surrounding cells and might thus play a role in the pathogenesis of this disease and/or its consistently associated immunodeficiency.
• Source: E.coli.
• Purity: > 90% by SDS - PAGE
• Physical Appearance: Liquid.
• Formulation: 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH8.0) containing 20% glycerol, 0.1M NaCl.
• Concentration: 0.5 mg/ml (determined by Bradford assay).
• Sequences Of Amino Acids: MGSSHHHHHH SSGLVPRGSH MAFSGSQAPY LSPAVPFSGT IQGGLQDGLQ ITVNGTVLSS SGTRFAVNFQ TGFSGNDIAF HFNPRFEDGGYVVCNTRQNG SWGPEERKTH MPFQKGMPFD LCFLVQSSDF KVMVNGILFV QYFHRVPFHR VDTISVNGSV QLSYISFQ.
• Storage: Can be stored at +4°C short term (1-2 weeks). For long term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C or -70°C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles.
