Human GAL3 (Galectin 3) CLIA Kit (HUES00839)

A chemiluminescence-based immunoassay from Assay Genie for the quantitative measurement of Human Galectin-3 (GAL3) in serum, plasma and other biological fluids. The kit uses a sandwich-CLIA format and is intended for research use in fields including cancer, cell biology, neuroscience and developmental biology.

The manufacturer reports a sensitivity of 18.75 pg/mL, a detection range of 31.25–2000 pg/mL, a required sample volume of 100 μL, and a total assay time of 3 hours 30 minutes. Recovery is stated at 80–120%. Reported intra-assay precision (CV%) spans 8.32–10.8%, and inter-assay precision (CV%) spans 9.71–11.65%. The kit recognises Human GAL3 with no significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human GAL3 and analogues observed.

Storage conditions are 2–8 °C or -20 °C depending on the component. The associated UniProt entry is P17931, with the gene/protein commonly referenced as LGALS3. Galectin-3 is described as a multifunctional protein involved in cell adhesion, cell proliferation and inflammation, and elevated levels have been linked to cancer, heart failure and fibrosis.
