简介
Galectin-8 belongs to the family of animal lectins that bind to different glycoconjugates. Galectin-8 inhibits MTOR and AMPK signaling pathways to induce autophagy in response to lysosomal damage. Galectin-8 is highly expressed in a variety of tumors. Galectin-8/LGALS8 Protein, Rat (GST) is the recombinant rat-derived Galectin-8 protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-GST labeled tag.

稳定性测试
The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37℃ for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate isless than 8% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.

Protein Description
Galectin-8 (LGALS8) is a member of the galectin family, a group of proteins known for their ability to bind beta-galactoside sugars, playing crucial roles in various biological processes, including cell adhesion, proliferation, and apoptosis. The expression of LGALS8 has been implicated in several physiological and pathological conditions, including cancer, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases. Its unique N-terminal and C-terminal domains allow it to interact with multiple partners, influencing cellular signaling pathways. Research has shown that LGALS8 can modulate immune responses and contribute to tumor progression by altering the tumor microenvironment and facilitating metastasis. Consequently, the study of LGALS8 is vital for understanding its functional roles in health and disease. The development of recombinant LGALS8 proteins has provided a valuable tool for investigating these mechanisms in vitro and in vivo, enabling researchers to dissect its biological functions, explore its therapeutic potentials, and evaluate its role as a biomarker for disease progression. As interest in galectins expands, LGALS8 stands out as a significant candidate for further exploration in targeted therapies and diagnostics, highlighting the need for continued research in this promising area of biomedical science.
