背景描述 | Galectin-4 (Gal-4) is a lectin family member and is one of the tandem repeat-type galectins containing two carbohydrate recognition domains (CRD) connected by a linker region in a single peptide chain. The CRD is responsible for β-galactoside binding, and several binding partners for galectin-4 have been identified, including human blood group antigens, glycoproteins, mucin like membrane MUC1, glycosphingolipids, and sulfated cholesterol. Galectin-4 is constitutively presented in the intestine and stomach, uterine epithelial cells, blood vessel walls, hippocampal and cortical neurons. It serves important functions in numerous biological activities including lipid raft stabilization, protein apical trafficking, cell adhesion, wound healing, intestinal inflammation, and host defense. |

产品应用 | Cell Culture |
1. Before opening, centrifuge at 3000 rpm for 5 mins.
2.Initial Reconstitution
· Reconstitute the Lyophilized Protein in sterile H₂O to a concentration of 100-200 μg/mL.
· Then, incubate it at room temperature for at least 20 mins to ensure sufficient dissolution.
Do Not Vortex! Vigorous shaking may impair the biological activity of the protein.
· Store at 2°C to 8°C for up to 1 week.
3.Extended Storage
· After the initial reconstitution, further dilute the reconstituted protein in a buffer containing a carrier protein or stabilizer (e.g., 0.1% BSA, 10% FBS, 5% HSA, or 5% trehalose solution). The final concentration is not less than 10 μg/ml.
· Prepare aliquots (≥20 μl).
· Store at -20°C or -80°C for 3 to 6 months.
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
储存 | Lyophilized Protein: Store at -20°C for 1 year. Initial Reconstitution: Store at 2°C to 8°C for up to 1 week. Extended Storage: Store at -20°C or -80°C for 3 to 6 months with a carrier protein or stabilizer. |
