Description
The LpMab-23 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes a cancer-specific form of human podoplanin. Podoplanin is a 38-44 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by PDPN. This heavily glycosylated mucin type protein is named for its expression on kidney glomerular epithelial cells known as podocytes. Although the podoplanin protein is expressed on a wide variety of cell types in normal tissues (including placenta, lung, skeletal muscle and brain), LpMab-23 recognizes an altered glycosylation pattern that occurs on oral cancer cells and it shows minimal reactivity with the surrounding non-cancerous tissue. In contrast, the LpMab-17 monoclonal antibody recognizes a non-glycosylated epitope of podoplanin on normal and cancer cells. 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.
