Galectin-3 polyclonal, anti-human

Polyclonal Antibody against Human Galectin-3

Application: WB, ELISA

Host: Rabbit

INTRODUCTION
Galectin-3 is expressed by a wide range of cell types including activated T cells, tumor cells, macrophages, osteoclasts, fibroblasts and epithelial cells. Galectin-3 has specific binding affinity for beta-galactoside sugar moieties and has functional roles during development, innate immunity, cell apoptosis and tumor metastasis. Galectin-3 is associated with cancer, heart failure, stroke and inflammation.
