Description:

Recombinant human Galectin 9 Protein with N-terminal human Fc tag

Background:

The galectins are a family of beta-galactoside-binding proteins implicated in modulating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. The protein encoded by this gene is an S-type lectin. It is overexpressed in Hodgkin's disease tissue and might participate in the interaction between the HandRS cells with their surrounding cells and might thus play a role in the pathogenesis of this disease and/or its associated immunodeficiency. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Molecular characterization:

hFc(Glu99-Ala330) Galectin 9 (Ala2-Thr323)

Molecular weight:

The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 61.9 kDa after removal of the signal peptide.The apparent molecular mass of hFc-Galectin 9 is approximately 70-100 kDa due to glycosylation.

Tag:

N-Human Fc Tag

Expression host:

HEK293

Target:

Galectin 9

Purity:

The purity of the protein is greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie blue staining.

Formulation / Reconstitution:

Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. Normally 5 % - 8% trehalose is added as protectants before lyophilization. Please see Certificate of Analysis for specific instructions of reconstitution.

Storage:

Store at -20°C to -80°C for 12 months in lyophilized form. After reconstitution, if not intended for use within a month, aliquot and store at -80°C (Avoid repeated freezing and thawing). Lyophilized proteins are shipped at ambient temperature.
