Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Galectin 3 antibody [A3A12] (AB2785)
Immunohistochemical analysis (formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) human colon tissue (right) labelling Galectin 3 in the nucleus and cytoplasm with ab2785, compared with a negative control (left). To expose target proteins, antigen retrieval method was performed using 10mM sodium citrate (pH 6.0) microwaved for 8-15 min. Following antigen retrieval, tissues were blocked in 3% H2O2-methanol for 15 min at room temperature. Tissue sections were incubated with the primary antibody (1 : 100 in 3% BSA-PBS) overnight at 4°C. A HRP-conjugated anti-mouse IgG was used as the secondary antibody, followed by colorimetric detection using a DAB kit. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and dehydrated with ethanol and xylene to prep for mounting.

Biological function summary
Galectin-3 participates in cell growth regulation apoptosis and immune system modulation. Galectin-3 does not typically integrate into larger molecular complexes but it interacts with a variety of cell surface and extracellular matrix molecules. Its function influences processes like cell differentiation and angiogenesis where it can act as a regulator leveraging its ability to bind glycans on cell surfaces and matrix components.
Pathways
Galectin-3 contributes to the regulation of pathways such as the MAPK signaling pathway and the Wnt signaling pathway. In the MAPK pathway it influences cell proliferation and survival. Galectin-3 interacts with proteins like Β-catenin in the Wnt pathway assisting in transcriptional regulation and cell fate determination. These pathways are vital for maintaining cellular homeostasis and responding to extracellular signals.
