These GAL8 ELISA kits are immunodetection tools for measuring the levels of GAL8 in biological samples. GAL8 is an alias of the human LGALS8 gene, which encodes the protein, galectin 8. Notably, GAL8 is known to play a role in viral immune response, among other functions. The LGALS8 protein is 317 amino acid residues in length and 35.8 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 2 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the cytoplasmic vesicles and cytoplasm of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is ubiquitously expressed across many tissue types. Other names for this target antigen include PCTA-1.
The detection range for different GAL8 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 15.6 pg/mL and as high as 20 ng/mL. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
