Recombinant, human galectin-3 expressed in E. coli. Galectin-3 is a member of the β-galactoside-binding animal lectins. It has been implicated to be involved in various immunological processes, pre-mRNA splicing, cell adhesion, and tumor invasion. Levels of galectin-3 have been reported to be elevated in several metastatic cancers.
