Description: | LGALS8, also known as prostate-specific membrane antigen (PCTA1), is an additional prostate-specific antigen that is overexpressed only in malignant tumors and therefore is a more specific identifier of malignancies. It is a member of the galectin gene family which mediates both cell-cell and cell matrix interactions in a manner similar to the selectin subgroup of C-type lectins. Recombinant mouse LGALS8 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques. |
