Application

Anti-LGALS3BP antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a concentration of 1µg/mL.

Biochem/physiol Actions

LGALS3BP (Lectin, galactoside-binding, soluble, 3 binding protein) or MAC-2-BP gene encodes a Galectin-3-binding protein localized to chromosome 17q25. It is widely expressed by keratinocytes and fibroblasts but is also present in fluids like- semen, milk, serum, tears, saliva and urine. LGALS3BP stimulates the intergrin-mediated cell adhesion. It also imposes stimulatory impact on host defense system like natural killer (NK) and lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cell cytotoxicity. Furthermore, the encoded protein interacts specifically with galectin-1 and galectin-3 and facilitates the formation of multicell aggregates.
