Mouse Galectin 4 (GAL4) ELISA Kit

Quantitative measurement of endogenous galectin-4 in murine specimens is supported by this in vitro research use only ELISA kit from Assay Genie. Galectin-4 (GAL4) is a tandem-repeat β-galactoside-binding lectin expressed predominantly along the gastrointestinal epithelium, where it contributes to apical membrane trafficking, lipid raft stabilization, and mucosal barrier function. The lectin has drawn research attention in models of inflammatory bowel disease, colorectal carcinogenesis, and intestinal epithelial differentiation, where altered expression has been reported in affected tissue.

The kit uses a complete microplate format with pre-coated wells, a biotinylated detection antibody, streptavidin-HRP conjugate, and a calibrated standard curve. The colorimetric endpoint is read on a standard plate reader, and the protocol accommodates routine quantification of galectin-4 in cell lysates, tissue homogenates, and cell culture supernatants. All reagents are stored refrigerated upon arrival and shipped under ambient conditions.

Each Assay Genie Mouse Galectin-4 ELISA Kit supplies sufficient components for 96 determinations, supporting studies in mouse models with limited specimen availability. Researchers investigating gut mucosal immunity, intestinal lipid handling, or tumor-associated lectin biology can apply the assay to longitudinal and ex vivo studies in mouse models of gastrointestinal disease.
