Alexa Fluor® 488 anti-Galectin-7

The galectins are a family of beta-galactoside-binding proteins implicated in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. Galectin-7 is specifically expressed in stratified epithelia and epidermis, but barely detected in epidermal tumors and absent from squamous carcinoma cell lines. Galectin-7 is a p53-induced protein and is abnormally expressed in variety of tumors such as melanoma, lung cancer and colon cancer. In UVB-induced sunburn keratinocytes, the expression of Galectin-7 is markedly increased due to the genotoxic stress-induced p53 activation. Both positive and negative regulatory roles of Galectin-7 have been reported in tumorigenesis.PRODUCT DETAILSClone: A18059AAntibody Type: MonoclonalReactivity: Human, MouseFormat: Alexa Fluor 488Host: RatIsotype: IgG2a, κApplications: IHC-P - Quality testedRegulatory Status: RUOData Sheets: TDS | SDSNote to Purchaser: This product is manufactured and supplied by BioLegend, Inc. under an agreement between BioLegend, Inc. and Cytek Biosciences
