The Gp38 ELISA kits listed below are analytical tools for measuring concentrations of Gp38 in various samples. Gp38 is an alternative name for the human PDPN gene, which encodes the protein, podoplanin. It has been mentioned that Gp38 plays a role in cell migration and cell adhesion, among other functions. Structurally, the PDPN protein is 162 amino acid residues in length and 16.7 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 6 protein isoforms have been identified. In terms of tissue specificity, it is reported to be highly expressed in placenta, lung, skeletal muscle and brain. This protein is known to be O-glycosylated and cleaved. Other names for this target antigen include AGGRUS, D2-40, and GP36. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
