Rat Galectin 7 (GAL7) ELISA Kit

For laboratories quantifying galectin-7 in rat specimens, this 96-assay ELISA from Assay Genie provides a quantitative immunoassay with a detection range of 0.156-10 ng/mL and sensitivity 0.049 ng/mL (lower limit of detection). The kit targets the LGALS7 gene product (also known as PIG1, TP53I1, HKL-14), a beta-galactoside-binding lectin tied to keratinocyte differentiation and apoptotic signaling in stratified epithelia (UniProt P97590).

Serum and plasma are run at a 50 uL sample volume per well, while cell culture supernatant and cell or tissue lysates use 100 uL. Compatible rat-derived specimen types include serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, and cell culture supernates. The plate is pre-coated and uses a biotinylated detection antibody with streptavidin-HRP and a TMB substrate, read on a standard microplate reader.

Galectin-7 expression has been tracked in psoriatic skin models, corneal epithelium, and hair-follicle cycling studies, supporting dermatology and epithelial-biology research. Reagents ship with a 12-month shelf life and include pre-coated strips, lyophilized standard, biotinylated antibody, streptavidin-HRP, wash buffer, TMB substrate, and stop solution. The protocol is structured for routine bench workflows in immunology and cell-biology laboratories.
