SYNONYMS
HL14, Gal-2, Beta-galactoside-binding lectin L-14-II, Lactose-binding lectin 2, S-Lac lectin 2.
INTRODUCTION
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.
DESCRIPTION
LGALS2 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 152 amino acids (1-132 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 16.8 kDa. The LGALS2 is fused to a 20 amino acid His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
