Description

Recombinant, human galectin-3 expressed in E. coli and subsequently cleaved with Clostridium histolyticum collagenase type VII to yield galectin-3C. The resulting galectin-3C is purified by affinity chromatography. Galectin-3C is a truncated form of galectin-3 that contains the carbohydrate binding domain but lacks the 107 amino acids at the N-terminus of galectin-3. It is suggested to play a key role in autoimmune diseases, allergic reactions, inflammation, tumor cell metastasis, atherosclerosis, and diabetes., Recombinant, human galectin-3 expressed in E. coli and subsequently cleaved with Clostridium histiolyticum collagenase type VII to yield galectin-3C.
