Scientific Data Images for Human Galectin-3 Antibody

Detection of Human Galectin‑3 by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of COLO 205 human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line, MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line, and U-118-MG human glioblastoma/astrocytoma cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.2 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human Galectin-3 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB1154) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF018). A specific band was detected for Galectin-3 at approximately 28 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Background: Galectin-3

Galectin-3, also known as Mac-2, L29, CBP35 and epsilonBP, is a member of a large family of carbohydrate-binding proteins with specificity for N-acetyl-lactosamine-containing glycoproteins. At least 14 mammalian galectins, which share structural similarities in their carbohydrate recognition domains (CRD), have been identified to date. Galectin-3 is expressed in tumor cells, macrophages, activated T cells, osteoclasts, epithelial cells and fibroblasts.
