Rabbit anti-Human CD62P/P-selectin Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P16109

Target Species

Human

Target Name

SELP

Target Full Name

P-selectin

Target Function

Ca(2+)-dependent receptor for myeloid cells that binds to carbohydrates on neutrophils and monocytes. Mediates the interaction of activated endothelial cells or platelets with leukocytes. The ligand recognized is sialyl-Lewis X. Mediates rapid rolling of leukocyte rolling over vascular surfaces during the initial steps in inflammation through interaction with SELPLG.

Target Involvement

Ischemic stroke (ISCHSTR)

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.

Target Protein Families

Selectin/LECAM family

Target Tissue Specificity

Stored in the alpha-granules of platelets and Weibel-Palade bodies of endothelial cells. Upon cell activation by agonists, P-selectin is transported rapidly to the cell surface.

Target Research Area

Cardiovascular

Target Synonyms

CD62 antigen-like family member P;Granule membrane protein 140;GMP-140;Leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion molecule 3;LECAM3;Platelet activation dependent granule-external membrane protein;PADGEM;CD62P

Target Background

This gene encodes a 140 kDa protein that is stored in the alpha-granules of platelets and Weibel-Palade bodies of endothelial cells. This protein redistributes to the plasma membrane during platelet activation and degranulation and mediates the interaction of activated endothelial cells or platelets with leukocytes. The membrane protein is a calcium-dependent receptor that binds to sialylated forms of Lewis blood group carbohydrate antigens on neutrophils and monocytes. Alternative splice variants may occur but are not well documented.
