Notes

ab240111 is the carrier-free version of Anti-Galectin 1 antibody [EPR3206(2)] ab138513.

We are constantly working hard to ensure we provide our customers with best in class antibodies. As a result of this work we are pleased to now offer this antibody in purified format. We are in the process of updating our datasheets. The purified format is designated 'PUR' on our product labels. If you have any questions regarding this update, please contact our Scientific Support team.

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

Activity summary

Galectin-1 also referred to as GAL1 or galectin 1 is a protein with a molecular mass of approximately 14.5 kDa. It belongs to a group called the beta-galactoside-binding lectins and is typically characterized by its distinct carbohydrate-recognition domain. Galectin-1 is expressed in a variety of tissues including muscle epithelial cells the nervous system and immune cells. In particular high expression levels are found in the placenta and the thymus indicating a role in development and immune function.

Biological function summary

This protein mediates a variety of cellular processes such as cell differentiation apoptosis and immune cell modulation. As a monomer galectin-1 binds specifically to beta-galactoside residues on the cell surface. It plays a significant role in regulation of cell signaling circuits affecting T-cell activation as well as macrophage function. The Galectin-1 protein does not commonly form complexes but can influence interactions of other proteins by binding to glycoproteins on the cell surface which can modulate signaling outcomes.

Pathways

The protein is actively involved in pathways related to cell-cell interactions and immune modulation. It interacts with pathways like Ras signaling which is fundamental in cell growth proliferation and survival. Through these pathways galectin-1 is closely related to other proteins including Ras and Raf which are critical in transmitting signals from the cell surface to the DNA in the nucleus affecting gene expression involved in apoptosis and autophagy.

Associated diseases and disorders

Galectin-1 association with cancer progression and autoimmune diseases reflects its role in immune system regulation. High galectin-1 levels have been recorded in various tumors where the protein promotes tumor progression by supporting angiogenesis and suppressing immune response against cancer cells. In autoimmune disorders such as multiple sclerosis modulation of Galectin-1 levels can alter disease progression and the immune system’s behavior. The protein interacts with other key regulators like cytokines emphasizing its importance in immune-inflammatory pathways and potential as a therapeutic target.
