Recombinant Human LGALS8, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: LGALS8-2784H
• Product Overview: Recombinant human LGALS8 protein (1-317aa), fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.

Specification

• Cat. No.: LGALS8-2784H
• Description: LGALS8, also known as prostate-specific membrane antigen (PCTA1), is an additional prostate-specific antigen that is overexpressed only in malignant tumors and therefore is a more specific identifier of malignancies. It is a member of the galectin gene family which mediates both cell-cell and cell matrix interactions in a manner similar to the selectin subgroup of C-type lectins.
• Source: E.coli.
