There are a number of ELISA Kits available for the measurement of lectin, galactose binding, soluble 8, another term for the human protein, galectin 8. Other synonyms may include: Po66 carbohydrate binding protein, galectin-8g, lectin galactoside-binding soluble 8, po66 carbohydrate-binding protein, Gal-8, PCTA-1, and PCTA1. It is encoded by the LGALS8 gene to yield a protein 317 amino acids in length and 35.8 kDa in size. However, there are up to 2 reported isoforms. Versions of lectin, galactose binding, soluble 8 are present in other organisms, including: Mouse, Rat, Frog, Chicken.
