Unconjugated Rabbit anti-Human, Mouse, Rat Galectin 1 (9H8) Monoclonal Antibody [IgG]

Galectin-1; 14 kDa laminin-binding protein; 14 kDa lectin; Beta-galactoside-binding lectin L-14-I; Galaptin; Lactose-binding lectin 1; Lectin galactoside-binding soluble 1; Putative MAPK-activating protein PM12; S-Lac lectin 1; Gal-1; HLBP14; LGALS1.

The galectins are a family of beta-galactoside-binding proteins implicated in modulating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. Galectin-1 binds beta-galactoside and a wide array of complex carbohydrates. Plays a role in regulating apoptosis, cell proliferation and cell differentiation. Inhibits CD45 protein phosphatase activity and therefore the dephosphorylation of Lyn kinase. Strong inducer of T-cell apoptosis.
