SYNONYMS
Lectin Galactoside Binding Soluble 16, Galectin16, Galectin-16, LGALS-16, LGALS16.
INTRODUCTION
Galectin-16 (LGALS16) binds lactose with high affinity. LGALS16 is a strong inducer of T-cell apoptosis.
DESCRIPTION
LGALS16 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing having a molecular mass of 16kDa.
The LGALS16 also appears as a homodimer and therefore a 32kDa band is observed as well. LGALS16 is fused to a 6xHis tag at n-terminal and purified using standard chromatography techniques.
