Anti-LGALS3BP Antibody Picoband® Fluoro647 Conjugated

Galectin-3-binding protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LGALS3BP gene. The galectins are a family of beta-galactoside-binding proteins implicated in modulating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. LGALS3BP has been found elevated in the serum of patients with cancer and in those infected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) . It appears to be implicated in immune response associated with natural killer (NK) and lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cell cytotoxicity. Using fluorescence in situ hybridization the full length 90K cDNA has been localized to chromosome 17q25. The native protein binds specifically to a human macrophage-associated lectin known as Mac-2 and also binds galectin 1.

E.coli-derived human LGALS3BP recombinant protein (Position: H115-K508) . Human LGALS3BP shares 67.9% and 66.2% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat LGALS3BP, respectively.
