Product Specifications

Background

Galectin 3 is a lectin with carbohydrate recognition domains (CRD) which bind -galactoside. It is a multifunctional protein expressed both on the cell surface, cytoplasm and nucleus and appears to have roles in specific carbohydrate binding and in the regulation of mRNA splicing.
