Quantitative sandwich ELISA for measuring Human Galectin-12 (LGALS12) in samples from cell culture supernatants, serum, whole blood, plasma and other biological fluids.
Galectins constitute a family of proteins that bind to ?-galactoside residues and have diverse physiological functions. Report on the identification of a galectin-like molecule, galectin-12, in a human adipose tissue cDNA library. The protein contained two potential carbohydrate-recognition domains with the second carbohydrate-recognition domain being less conserved compared with other galectins.
Galectin-12 mRNA was predominantly expressed in adipose tissue of human and mouse and in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Caloric restriction and treatment of obese animals with troglitazone increased galectin-12 mRNA levels and decreased the average size of the cells in adipose tissue.
