Anti-GAL4/LGALS4 Antibody Picoband® (Cy3 Conjugate)

Galectin-4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LGALS4 gene. This gene is mapped to chromosome 19q13.2 based on an alignment of the LGALS4 sequence. The galectins are a family of beta-galactoside-binding proteins implicated in modulating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. LGALS4 is an S-type lectin that is strongly underexpressed in colorectal cancer. The 323-amino acid LGALS4 protein contains 2 homologous, approximately 150-amino acid carbohydrate recognition domains and all amino acids typically conserved in galectins.

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human GAL4, different from the related mouse and rat sequences by seven amino acids.
