Supplementary information

Galectin 8 also known as Gal-8 or GAL is a member of the galectin protein family which binds β-galactosides. The protein has another name anti-gal and possesses a molecular mass of approximately 36 kDa. It exhibits broad expression in various tissues including the immune system bones and gastrointestinal tract. Galectin-8 functions mechanically by binding to glycoproteins and glycolipids which facilitates cell adhesion and regulation processes.
Biological function summary

Galectin-8 impacts numerous cellular functions through its involvement in immunomodulation and cell migration. Gal-8 promotes adhesion between cells and the extracellular matrix. It is not a part of a larger protein complex but interacts with multiple cell surface receptors guiding them toward or away from specific locations. Galectins including Galectin-8 influence immune cell responses by managing the apoptosis of T-cells and modifying cytokine production.

Pathways

Galectin-8 engages in signaling pathways related to cellular adhesion and immune system modulation. It participates in the integrin-mediated cell adhesion pathway and contributes to the receptor signaling pathway associated with cytokines. Within these pathways Galectin-8 interacts with other proteins such as integrins and T-cell receptors influencing their activation internalization and cell surface retention.

Galectin-8 plays roles in cancer progression and inflammatory conditions. It is connected to cancer as it regulates angiogenesis cell invasion and metastasis. Galectin-8 interacts with fibronectin and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) within the context of cancer. In inflammatory diseases Gal-8 influences immune cell migration and inflammation through its action on cytokine receptors contributing to conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.

Product protocols

For this product, it's our understanding that no specific protocols are required. You can visit:

Target data

Beta-galactoside-binding lectin that acts as a sensor of membrane damage caused by infection and restricts the proliferation of infecting pathogens by targeting them for autophagy. Detects membrane rupture by binding beta-galactoside ligands located on the lumenal side of the endosome membrane; these ligands becoming exposed to the cytoplasm following rupture. Restricts infection by initiating autophagy via interaction with CALCOCO2/NDP52. Required to restrict infection of bacterial invasion such as S.typhimurium. Also required to restrict infection of Picornaviridae viruses. Has a marked preference for 3'-O-sialylated and 3'-O-sulfated glycans.
