01MT11820

Clone REA435 recognizes the human galectin-9 antigen, a member of the galectin family of carbohydrate-binding proteins, which is also known as ecalectin or tumor antigen HOM-HD-21. The galectin family is characterized by the presence of two or more conserved carbohydrate-recognition domains that bind galactose. Galectin-9 is widely distributed throughout various tissues and circulates at very high levels in the serum. It interacts with various ligands, the best characterized of which is the T cell immunoglobulin mucin 3 (Tim-3) cell surface molecule, widely expressed on innate and adaptive imm
