Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-Galectin 8/Gal-8 antibody [EPR4857] - BSA and Azide free (AB239983)
ab109519 staining Galectin 8/Gal-8 in HeLa (human cervix adenocarcinoma) cells by ICC/IF (Immunocytochemistry/immunofluorescence). Cells were fixed with 4% Paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100. Samples were incubated with primary antibody at a dilution of 1/100. A goat anti rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150077) was used as the secondary antibody at a dilution of 1/1000. ab7291 and ab150120 were used as counterstains for primary antibody ab109519 and secondary antibody ab150077 respectively and DAPI was used as a nuclear counterstain.

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.
