Recombinant Human LGALS3BP Protein, Flag Tag

Molecular Characterization: LGALS3BP (Met1-Asp585) 3×Flag tagMolecular weight: The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 68.3 kDa after removal of the signal peptide.Description: Recombinant Human LGALS3BP Protein with C-terminal 3×Flag tagThe 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.
