The following Galectin 8 ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of galectin 8 in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the LGALS8 gene. This 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. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid sequence of 317 residues and a mass of 35.8 kDa. Its subcellular location is known to be in the cytoplasmic vesicles and cytoplasm. In addition, it is ubiquitously expressed across many tissue types. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. This protein may also be known as PCTA-1, PCTA1, Po66-CBP, Po66 carbohydrate binding protein, galectin-8g, and Gal-8.
Some Galectin 8 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 10 ng/L and as high as 100 ng/mL. Use the search filters to narrow your search and click on the ELISA kits below for more detailed information, such as reactivity and assay sensitivity.
