The Lgals-8 ELISA kits listed below are analytical tools for measuring concentrations of Lgals-8 in various samples. Lgals-8 is an alternative name for the human LGALS8 gene, which encodes the protein, galectin 8. It has been mentioned that Lgals-8 plays a role in viral immune response, among other functions. Structurally, 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 Gal-8, Gal-8, and PCTA-1. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
