Bioactivity
(Galectin-12 is a member of a family of mammalian lectins known as galectins. The galectins constitute a large family of carbohydrate-binding proteins that function in many systems both intracellularly and following secretion. Galectins contain either one or two carbohydrate recognition domains (CRR) which mediate recognition of N-acetyl-lactosamine-containing glycoproteins. Individual galectins differ in their tissue distribution and in their carbohydrate-binding specificities. Galectin-12 is predominantly expressed in adipose tissue and detected also in macrophages and other leukocytes. It plays an important role in cell-cell adhesion, cell-matrix interactions, macrophage activation, angiogenesis, metastasis, apoptosis. In this case, we chose rabbit erythrocyte (RaE) to assay its ability of agglutination. A general procedure for hemagglutination assay (or haemagglutination assay; HA) is as follows, two-fold dilute the recombinant Hu GAL12 with 0.9% sodium chloride injection, add 50uL a serial dilution of GAL12 to each well of a U or V-bottom shaped 96-well microtiter plate. The final well serves as a negative control with no GAL12, replace with 50uL 0.9% sodium chloride injection. Then add 50uL 1% rabbit erythrocyte to each well and mixed gently. The plate is incubated for 3 hours at room temperature. The results are shown in Figure 1. It was obvious that the minimal effective concentration of GAL12 is 0.781 ug/mL.)

Product Notes
The GAL12 lgals12 (Catalog #AAA152174) is an Active Protein produced from E Coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's Galectin 12 (GAL12) can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Activity Assay, Cell Culture. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the GAL12 lgals12 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. The amino acid sequence is listed below: Pro70~Leu2 91. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Galectin 12 (GAL12), Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
