Galectin-9, His tag, mouse recombinant (rmLGALS9-His)

LGALS9 mouse recombinant produced E. coli is a single polypeptide chain containing 345 amino acids (1-322) and having a molecular mass of 38 kDa. LGALS9 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus. LGLAS9 binds galactosides and has high affinity for the Forssman pentasaccharide. LGLAS9 participates in thymocyte-epithelial interactions relevant to the biology of the thymus and Inhibits cell proliferation. LGLAS9 is a ligand for HAVCR2/TIM3. LGLAS9 Induces T-helper type 1 lymphocyte (Th1) death. LGLAS9 performs as an eosinophil chemoattractant LGLAS9 is an S-type lectin which is over-expressed in Hodgkin's disease tissue and takes part in the interaction between the H&RS cells with their surrounding cells.
