The Rabbit Polyclonal anti-Galectin 2 antibody has been validated for IHC and ELISA. It is suitable to detect Galectin 2 in samples from Human and Mouse.
The protein encoded by this gene is a soluble beta-galactoside binding lectin. The encoded protein is found as a homodimer and can bind to lymphotoxin-alpha. A single nucleotide polymorphism in an intron of this gene can alter the transcriptional level of the protein, with a resultant increased risk of myocardial infarction. This protein binds beta-galactoside. Its physiological function is not yet known.
