Rabbit anti-Human Galectin 1/LGALS1 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P09382

Target Species

Human

Target Name

LGALS1

Target Full Name

Galectin-1

Target Function

Lectin that binds beta-galactoside and a wide array of complex carbohydrates. Plays a role in regulating apoptosis, cell proliferation and cell differentiation. Inhibits CD45 protein phosphatase activity and therefore the dephosphorylation of Lyn kinase. Strong inducer of T-cell apoptosis.

Target Subcellular Location

Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix. Cytoplasm. Secreted.

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in placenta, maternal decidua and fetal membranes. Within placenta, expressed in trophoblasts, stromal cells, villous endothelium, syncytiotrophoblast apical membrane and villous stroma. Within fetal membranes, expressed in amnion, chorioamnioti

Target Background

The galectins are a family of beta-galactoside-binding proteins implicated in modulating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. This gene product may act as an autocrine negative growth factor that regulates cell proliferation.
