Preparation and Storage

Background: Galectin-12

Human Galectin-12 is a member of a family of mammalian lectins known as galectins. The galectins constitute a large family of carbohydrate-binding proteins that function in many systems both intracellularly and following secretion. Galectins contain either one or two carbohydrate recognition domains (CRR) which mediate recognition of N-acetyl-lactosamine-containing glycoproteins. Some galectins exist in multiple isoforms due to alternative splicing. Individual galectins differ in their tissue distribution and in their carbohydrate-binding specificities. Galectin-12 is predominantly expressed in adipose tissue and detected also in macrophages and other leukocytes. Many isoforms, A to G, have been identified. Based on immunogen, this antibody should detect all isoforms.
