Description | Podoplanin, also known as glycoprotein 36 (gp36), PA2.26 antigen, T1alpha (T1A), and aggrus, is a 36 kDa type I transmembrane sialoglycoprotein and member of the Podoplanin family. Podoplanin has three potential splice variants, the longest of which is represented by a 238 amino acid (aa) precursor (NP_006465). It contains an undefined signal sequence, a 22 aa transmembrane segment (aa 207-228) and a short cytoplasmic tail (aa 229-238). The ECD contains abundant Ser/Thr residues that could serve as potential O-linked glycosolation sites. The cytoplasmic tail contains putative sites for protein kinase C phosphorylation. There are two potential alternate start sites at Met 77 (Swiss Prot #: Q86YL7) and Met 119 (EAW51692) that generate short forms. The 162 aa short form Podoplanin precursor shares 47% aa identity with mouse Podoplanin. Podoplanin is expressed on glomerular epithelial cells (podocytes), type I lung alveolar cells, lymphatic endothelial cells, and numerous tumors, including colorectal tumors, squamous cell carcinomas, testicular seminoma, and brain tumors. One study shows high expression of Podoplanin mRNA in placenta, lung, skeletal muscle, and heart, and weaker levels in brain, kidney, and liver. Podoplanin is the ligand for C-type lectin-like receptor 2 (CLEC2). Their association is dependent on sialic acid on O-glycans of Podoplanin. Through its association with CLEC2, Podoplanin-induces platelet aggregation and tumor metastasis. Podoplanin is also necessary for lymphatic vessel formation, normal lung cell proliferation and alveolus formation at birth. |

Staining of lymphatic endothelial cells in normal human kidney tissue (paraffin-embedded tissue-sections fixed in formalin) with anti-human Podoplanin [Cat# 101-M41].


Immunohistochemistry on cryo sections of human spleen using a mouse anti-human Podoplanin antibody (Cat# 101-M41). The antibody stains solely the lymphatic endothelial cells and not the sinus endotheliom. Detection system: Vector Labs' Vectastain Elite system, used as the manufacturer provides.
Experiment was performed by Prof. Dr. Birte Steiniger, Institute of Anatomy and Cell Biology Robert-Koch-Str. 8, D-35037 Marburg, Germany

Western Blot Analysis with total lysate of different LEC cell lines and the neuroblastoma cell line CHP100 using a monoclonal mouse anti-human Podoplanin antibody [Cat# 101-M41]. All LEC cell lines are positive for Podoplanin whereas the neuroblastoma cell CHP100 is negative for Podoplanin expression. The WB was performed under non-reducing conditions.

Immunofluorescence staining (green) of Podoplanin in primary human dermal lymphatic endothelial cells (HDLEC) with anti-human Podoplanin (1µg/ml) [Cat# 101-M41] and counter staining of nuclei with Dapi. As secondary antibody goat anti-mouse ALEXA Flour 488 (Dianova) was used 1:400.

Western blot analysis with recombinant human, mouse and rat soluble Podoplanin. There is a strong cross reaction with rat Podoplanin but not with the mouse form.
