A recombinant human Galectin-13 protein fragment (amino acids 1-139) was used as the immunogen for the Galectin 13 antibody.
It recognizes a 32kDa protein, which is identified as homodimer of galectin-13 (also known as PP13). Galectins are a family of soluble beta-galactoside-binding lectins that modulate cell-to-cell adhesion and cell-to-extracellular matrix (ECM) interaction
