Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of GAL7 in rat serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates.
Target Information: The galectins are a family of beta-galactoside-binding proteins implicated in modulating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. Differential and in situ hybridization studies indicate that this lectin is specifically expressed in keratinocytes and found mainly in stratified squamous epithelium. A duplicate copy of this gene (GeneID:3963) is found adjacent to, but on the opposite strand on chromosome 19. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
