DescriptionAnti-Galectin-3 Antibody, clone M3/38
Alternate Names
  • lectin, galactoside-binding, soluble, 3
  • Mac-2 antigen
  • Carbohydrate-binding protein 35
  • galectin-3
  • Galactose-specific lectin 3
  • Laminin-binding protein

  • IgE-binding protein
  • Galactoside-binding protein
Background InformationGalectin-3 belongs to the galectin gene family defined by the specificity of a carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) for Gal/Lac and expression is usually elevated in a wide range of neoplastic cell types. The galectin CRD consists of 135 amino acids. Galectin-3 has been shown to effect tumor development and progression.

Applications
ApplicationAnti-Galectin-3 Antibody, clone M3/38 is an antibody against Galectin-3 for use in WB, IP, IH & IC.
Key Applications
  • Western Blotting
  • Immunoprecipitation
  • Immunohistochemistry
  • Immunocytochemistry
Application NotesWestern Blot Analysis: 1:50,000 dilution from a previous lot detected Galectin-3 in 10 µg of NIH/3T3 cell lysate.

Immunoprecipitation Analysis: A previous lot was used by an independent laboratory in IP. (Springer, T., et al. (1981). THE JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICACHLE MISTRY. 256(8):3833-3839.)

Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A previous lot was used by an independent laboratory in IH. (Gasbarri, A., et al. (1999). Journal of Clinical Oncology. 17(11):3494-3502.)

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A previous lot was used by an independent laboratory in IC. (Gasbarri, A., et al. (1999). Journal of Clinical Oncology. 17(11):3494-3502.)

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: Galactose-specific lectin which binds IgE. May mediate with the alpha-3, beta-1 integrin the stimulation by CSPG4 of endothelial cells migration. Together with DMBT1, required for terminal differentiation of columnar epithelial cells during early embryogenesis (By similarity).

SUBUNIT STRUCTURE: Probably forms homo- or heterodimers. Interacts with DMBT1 (By similarity). Forms a complex with the ITGA3, ITGB1 and CSPG4. Interacts with LGALS3BP, LYPD3, CYHR1 and UACA.

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. Note: Cytoplasmic in adenomas and carcinomas (By similarity). May be secreted by a non-classical secretory pathway and associate with the cell surface.

TISSUE SPECIFICTY: The highest levels are found in activated macrophages.

SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES: Contains 1 galectin domain.
Molecular Weight~28 kDa observed
