Human Galectin-3 ELISA Kit (LGALS3) (ab269555) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Galectin-3 (LGALS3) protein in cell lysate, serum, cell culture media, cit plasma, edta plasma, hep plasma, and cell culture supernatant. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human Galectin-3 (LGALS3) with 13.3 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies- Fully validated in biological samples- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.
Notes
Galectin-3 (Gal-3, Galactoside-binding protein, Mac-2 antigen) is a member of the galectin family of carbohydrate-binding proteins. Galectin-3 is active intracellularly and extracellularly. It is widely expressed, including by fibroblasts and macrophages. Intracellularly, Galectin-3 can function in the nucleus as a pre-mRNA splicing factor and in the cytoplasm it has roles in endocytosis, exocytosis and apoptosis. Extracellularly, Galectin-3 is often pro-inflammatory and is involved in innate immunity. Galectin-3 can be monomeric or form higher order homo and hetero oligomers.

Function
Galactose-specific lectin which binds IgE. May mediate with the alpha-3, beta-1 integrin the stimulation by CSPG4 of endothelial cells migration. Together with DMBT1, required for terminal differentiation of columnar epithelial cells during early embryogenesis.Tissue specificity
A major expression is found in the colonic epithelium. It is also abundant in the activated macrophages.Sequence similarities
Contains 1 galectin domain.Cellular localization
Nucleus. Cytoplasmic in adenomas and carcinomas. May be secreted by a non-classical secretory pathway and associate with the cell surface.- Information by UniProt
