Recombinant mouse Galectin-2/LGALS2 protein

Galectin 2, also known as Lgals2, belongs to the galectins family. Galectins are a family of soluble beta-galactoside-binding animal lectins that modulate cell-to-cell adhesion and cell-to-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions and play a role in tumor progression, pre-mRNA splicing and apoptosis. Lgals2 is a monomeric or homodimeric prototype galectin that is expressed in hepatoma, stomach epithelial cells and in colorectal and neural tumors. It induces apoptosis in activated T cells and binds to the cytokine lymphotoxin-a (LTA) with possible implications in risk of myocardial infarction. Human and mouse Lgals2 share approximately 65% amino acid sequence similarity. Recombinant Mouse Lgals2 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
