Anti-Mouse Podoplanin Antibody

Podoplanin, also known as T1 alpha (T1α), is a mucin type transmembrane glycoprotein with extensive O-glycosylation. It is specifically expressed by lymphatic endothelial cells but not blood vascular endothelial cells. In addition, non-endothelial cells in numerous normal tissues also express the protein. Within the region used as the immunogen, mouse Podoplanin shares 73.5% and 29% amino acid sequence homology with rat and human Podoplanin, respectively.
