Anti-Galectin 12 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the LGALS12 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 336 amino acid residues and a mass of 37.5 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 7 different isoforms for this protein. It is known to bind lactose. Other names for this target antigen include lectin, galactoside-binding, soluble, 12, testicular secretory protein Li 26, and galectin-related inhibitor of proliferation. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog and chimpanzee species. Western Blot is the most common application for the Galectin 12 antibodies listed below. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
