Human Galectin 12 (GAL12) ELISA Kit

Galectin-12, the protein product of the LGALS12 gene, is a tandem-repeat carbohydrate-binding lectin expressed most prominently in white adipose tissue, where it regulates adipocyte differentiation, lipogenesis, and the turnover of intracellular lipid droplets. Investigation of this galectin has linked its expression to obesity, insulin sensitivity, adipose-tissue inflammation, and the tumor microenvironment, positioning it as a useful biomarker for metabolic and immunological research.

The colorimetric ELISA microplate kit from Assay Genie is intended for the quantitative measurement of human Galectin-12 in laboratory research samples, supporting workflows that combine cell culture experiments, tissue lysate preparation, and downstream signaling studies. Supplied as a complete reagent set, the kit includes a pre-coated microplate, lyophilized recombinant standards, detection antibody, wash buffer, substrate, and stop solution, along with the consumable vials and buffer bottles needed to run the full assay.

This research-use-only immunoassay should be stored refrigerated upon arrival to preserve antibody activity and standard integrity, and it works well in studies exploring galectin signaling in human adipocyte models and in the broader context of metabolic disease research. Researchers investigating LGALS12 regulation, galectin-mediated immune modulation, or adipose-derived biomarkers will find the assay format and reagent volumes practical for standard bench-scale quantification.
