Mouse GAL8 (Galectin 8) ELISA Kit (MOES01052)

Galectin-8 (GAL8) is a tandem-repeat member of the galectin family of beta-galactoside-binding lectins, characterized by two carbohydrate-recognition domains that engage glycans on cell surfaces and on secreted glycoproteins. The protein participates in diverse physiological and pathological processes, including modulation of innate immune signaling, regulation of selective autophagy of intracellular bacteria, control of cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion, and remodeling of the tumor microenvironment, which has driven sustained research interest in its circulating levels in mouse models of inflammation, autoimmunity, infection, and cancer.

This Mouse GAL8 ELISA Kit from Assay Genie is configured as a quantitative immunoassay on a microplate format, with 96 assays supplied per kit and is intended for research use only. The kit allows investigators to measure Galectin-8 concentrations in samples collected from murine experimental systems, supporting time-course studies of systemic GAL8 dynamics, correlation with disease progression markers, and comparison of GAL8 abundance across tissues via homogenized specimens.

Representative applications include monitoring GAL8 in murine sepsis and host-pathogen interaction studies, tracking Galectin-8 dynamics in autoimmune disease models such as colitis and arthritis protocols, profiling GAL8 abundance in tumor immunology and transplant rejection research, and assessing the protein in metabolic disease investigations across wild-type and genetically engineered mouse cohorts.
