The lectin, galactoside-binding, soluble, 13 ELISA kits listed below utilize specific antibodies for the plate-based assay of lectin, galactoside-binding, soluble, 13 in various samples. lectin, galactoside-binding, soluble, 13 is another term for the LGALS13 gene, which encodes the protein, galectin 13 in humans. It has been reported that lectin, galactoside-binding, soluble, 13 plays a role in the apoptotic pathway and the metabolism of lipids, among other functions. Structurally, the LGALS13 protein is described to be 139 amino acid residues in length and 16.1 kilodaltons in mass. It is localized to the nucleus and cytoplasm of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is notably expressed in adult and fetal spleen, fetal kidney, adult urinary bladder and placenta. Other names for this target antigen include GAL13, GAL13, and PLAC8. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
