With years of experience in developing and producing Recombinant Lectins, our production team has production expertise to provide clients with unique β-linked galactose, N-Acetyllactosamine (LacNAc) & Lewis x (Lex)-binding lectin production service. Depending on client needs and target lectin characteristics, CD BioGlyco provides a comprehensive production and analysis service, ranging from cloning, protein expression, purification, and characterization, to packaging.
For purified target lectins, we provide some identification services, such as hemagglutination tests, differential scanning fluorescence detection of stability, etc.

Paper Title: Galectin-4, a novel neuronal regulator of myelination
Journal: Glia
Published: 2012
IF: 5.984
Results: Recombinant galectin-4 (Gal-4) interferes with the growth and development process of oligodendrocytes (OLG) through carbohydrate interactions. The results showed that the number of myelin basic protein (MBP) positive cells treated with galectin-4 or C-terminal domain did not differ from the number of control cells treated with MBP positive vector. The release of endogenous Gal-4 correlated with myelination in cocultures. Both cortical and dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons release galectin-4, in vitro and in vivo, and both cortical DRG neurons release Gal-4. Since exposure to recombinant Gal-4 delays the maturation of OLG, the profiles confirm the involvement of Gal-4 in the OLG differentiation process.
