Description
The LpMab-17 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes human podoplanin which is encoded by PDPN. Podoplanin is a 38-44 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein. This heavily glycosylated mucin type protein is named for its expression on kidney glomerular epithelial cells known as podocytes. It is also expressed on a wide variety of cell types, including intestinal and thymic epithelial cells, alveolar type I cells, fibroblastic reticular cells, lymphatic endothelial cells, osteoblasts, and Th17 cells. Its expression is upregulated in some tumors. Podoplanin induces platelet aggregation via its three platelet aggregation-stimulating (PLAG) domains| it binds C-type lectin domain family 1 member B (Clec1B, also known as CLEC2)| and it is involved in actin cytoskeleton organization and in cellular adhesion and migration. It also plays roles in organogenesis, vascular development, inflammatory diseases, tumorigenesis, and cancer cell motility and metastasis.
