The T1A-2 ELISA kits listed below utilize specific antibodies for the plate-based assay of T1A-2 in various samples. T1A-2 is another term for the PDPN gene, which encodes the protein, podoplanin in humans. It has been reported that T1A-2 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.
