Galectin-12, a member of the galectin family, is formed from β-galactoside binding proteins, which have conserved carbohydrate recognition domains. The Galectin-12 gene encoded protein expressed an adipocyte, which can be downregulated by various Insulin resistance-inducing hormones. Research show that galectin-12 may be involved in the pathogenesis of Insulin resistance.

Source:
Escherichia coli
Endotoxin Test:
<0.1 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.
Purity:
>98% as determined by SDS-PAGE. Ni-NTA chromatography
Formulation:
The protein was lyophilized from a solution containing 1X PBS, pH 7.4.
Reconstitution:
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile H2O to a concentration not less than 100 μg/mL and incubate the stock solution for at least 20 min to ensure sufficient re-dissolved.
Storage:
Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C. Upon reconstitution, protein aliquots should be stored at -20°C or -80°C.
Note:
Please use within one month after protein reconstitution.
