Podoplanin Rabbit mAb

This gene encodes a type-I integral membrane glycoprotein with diverse distribution in human tissues. The physiological function of this protein may be related to its mucin-type character. The homologous protein in other species has been described as a differentiation antigen and influenza-virus receptor. The specific function of this protein has not been determined but it has been proposed as a marker of lung injury. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. Synonyma: T1A, GP36, GP40, Gp38, OTS8, T1A2, TI1A, D2-40, T1A-2, AGGRUS, HT1A-1, PA2.26, Podoplanin
