Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of GAL2 in human serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is a soluble beta-galactoside binding lectin. The encoded protein is found as a homodimer and can bind to lymphotoxin-alpha. A single nucleotide polymorphism in an intron of this gene can alter the transcriptional level of the protein, with a resultant increased risk of myocardial infarction. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
