Galectin-2 Polyclonal Antibody, 50ul Mechanical Pipette This type II cytokeratin is

This type II cytokeratin is specifically expressed in the corneal epithelium with family member KRT12 and mutations in these genes have been associated with Meesmann's Corneal Dystrophy

It also plays a role in translation of the myelin basic protein (MBP) mRNA by interacting with heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) A2| which associates with MBP

Among its related pathways are Vesicle-mediated transport and Regulation of nuclear SMAD2/3 signaling

It binds to IL8 with high affinity

Galectin-2 Polyclonal Antibody, 50ul Mechanical Pipette This type II cytokeratin isThe protein encoded by LGALS2 is a soluble beta galactoside binding lectin. The encoded protein is found as a homodimer and can bind to lymphotoxin alpha. A single nucleotide polymorphism in an intron of this gene can alter the transcriptional level of the protein, with a resultant increased risk of myocardial infarction.
