Specificity: Galectin-3 Mouse monoclonal antibody detects endogenous Galectin-3 proteins. 

Background: Galectin 3 is one of the more extensively studied members of this family and is a 30 kDa protein.

Due to a C-terminal carbohydrate binding site, Galectin 3 is capable of binding IgE and mammalian cell

surfaces only when homodimerized or homooligomerized. Galectin 3 is normally distributed in epithelia of

many organs, in various inflammatory cells, including macrophages, as well as dendritic cells and Kupffer

cells. The expression of this lectin is up-regulated during inflammation, cell proliferation, cell differentiation

and through trans-activation by viral proteins.
