Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by Western blotting. Western blotting, suggested working dilution(s): Use 10 μl per 5 ml antibody dilution buffer for each mini-gel. For immunofluorescence microscopy: Use a dilution range of 1:100~1:400. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.

Hela cell extract was resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose, and probed with rabbit anti-Galectin 3 antibody. Proteins were visualized using a donkey anti-rabbit secondary conjugated to HRP and a chemiluminescence detection system.
Description:
Galectin 3 (also known as galactose-specific lectin 3 and Mac-2 antigen) is a 32 kD member of the galaptin (S-lectin) family, BH-1, that contains carbohydrate recognition domains. This protein forms homo- and hetero-dimers and localizes to the nucleus or cytoplasm depending on proliferation state. Galectin 3 has been shown to modulate allergic reactions and regulate mRNA splicing activity, cell cycle control, and cell adhesion. The expression of galectin 3 can be increased by acetylated LDL, oxidized LDL, and Runx2. Galectin 3 can be modified by phosphorylation and acetylation and has been shown to interact with IgE, galactose, casein kinase I, laminin, mucin, β-galactoside residues of cell surface, matrix glycoproteins, and some intracellular proteins. The Poly6132 antibody recognizes human and mouse galectin 3 and has been shown to be useful for Western blotting.
