Anti-Lgals-8 antibodies are protein reagents that detect specific antigens. The Lgals-8 antigen is another term for the human protein galectin 8, encoded by the LGALS8 gene. The protein is reported to be a beta-galactoside-binding lectin that acts as a sensor of membrane damage caused by infection and restricts the proliferation of infecting pathogens by targeting them for autophagy. Canonically, it has an amino acid length of 317 residues and a mass of 35.8 kilodaltons. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasmic vesicles and cytoplasm and it is ubiquitously expressed across many tissue types. Other alias names for Lgals-8 include Gal-8, Gal-8, and PCTA-1. Indicated applications for Lgals-8 antibodies listed below include ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Western Blot, Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry.
