Description of Human Galectin-1, LGALs1

LGALS1 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 135 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 14.7kDa.The LGALS1 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Biological Activity

The activity of Human Galectin-1 which is determined by the ability to induce chemotaxis of human THP-1 cells is detectable starting at 100ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 1.0x104 units/mg.

Reconstitution

We recommend a quick spin followed by reconstitution in sterile water to a concentration of at least 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. Do not vortex.

Stability

Lyophilized Galectin-1 Recombinant although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Galectin-1 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
