Introduction
Recombinant Galectin-13 is an E. coli expressed peptide, this protein is one of human placenta specific galectins, like all galectin family, it contains a carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) as well. Increased blood concentration was found highly asscoaited with preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome in pregnant women. The molecular weight of galectin-13 is 16kDa.
Description
Recombinant Human LGALS13 produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain having a molecular mass of 16kDa. The LGALS13 also might appear as a homodimer, having a total Mw of 32kDa. LGALS13 was purified using standard chromatography techniques.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
