Galectin-7, Recombinant, Human, aa1-136, His-tag (GAL7, Gal-7, HKL-14, Lectin Galactoside-Binding Soluble 7, LGALS7, LGALS7A, p53 Induced Gene 1, p53I1, PIG1, PI7, TP53I1, Tumor Protein p53 Induced Gene 1)

LGALS7, also known as galectin7, is a family of beta-galactoside-binding proteins implicated in modulating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. Members of this family have been implicated in a variety of functions, including growth regulation, cell adhesion, migration, neoplastic transformation, and immune responses. It is expressed mainly in stratified squamous epithelium, LGALS7 protein is activated by p53 and repressed by retinoic acid. It is a pro-apoptotic protein that functions intracellularly upstream of JNK activation and cytochrome c release.\n\nSource: \nRecombinant corresponding to aa1-136 from human LGALS7, fused to His-tag at N-terminus expressed in E.coli.\n\nAA Sequence:\nMGSSHHHHHH SSGLVPRGSH MSNVPHKSSL PEGIRPGTVL RIRGLVPPNA SRFHVNLLCG EEQGSDAALH FNPRLDTSEV VFNSKEQGSW GREERGPGVP FQRGQPFEVL IIASDDGFKA VVGDAQYHHF RHRLPLARVR LVEVGGDVQL DSVRIF\n\nMolecular Weight: \n~17.2kD (156aa), confirmed by MALDI-TOF\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only.
