QuicKey Pro Human GAL3 (Galectin 3) ELISA Kit (E-OSEL-H0035)

This ELISA kit uses the Sandwich-ELISA principle. The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Human GAL3. Samples (or Standards) and Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) linked antibody specific for Human GAL3 are added to the micro ELISA plate wells. Human GAL3 in samples (or standards) combines with the coated antibody and HRP linked detection antibody special to Human GAL3.Excess conjugate and unbound sample or standard are washed from the plate. The substrate solution is added to each well. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of stop solution and the color turns yellow. The optical density (OD) is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm ± 2 nm. The OD value is proportional to the concentration of Human GAL3. The concentration of Human GAL3 in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.

Galactose-specific lectin which binds IgE. May mediate with the alpha-3,beta-1 integrin the stimulation by CSPG4 of endothelial cells migration. Together with DMBT1,required for terminal differentiation of columnar epithelial cells during early embryogenesis.In the nucleus: acts as a pre-mRNA splicing factor. Involved in acute inflammatory responses including neutrophil activation and adhesion,chemoattraction of monocytes macrophages,opsonization of apoptotic neutrophils,and activation of mast cells. Together with TRIM16,coordinates the recognition of membrane damage with mobilization of the core autophagy regulators ATG16L1 and BECN1 in response to damaged endomembranes.
