The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Met-Met-Leu-Ser-Leu.
The ED50 of Galectin-8 as determined by its ability to agglutinate human red blood cells is 0.8~4 ug/ml.
LGALS8 was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution in 20mM PBS, pH 7.4.
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Greater than 95.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Galectin-8 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Lyophilized LGALS8 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18oC. Upon reconstitution Galectin-8 should be stored at 4oC between 2-7 days and for future use below -18oC.
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Galectin-8, Gal-8, Po66 carbohydrate-binding protein, Po66-CBP, Prostate carcinoma tumor antigen 1, PCTA-1, LGALS8.
