This Podoplanin / GP36 / T1A-2 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 33-63 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human Podoplanin / GP36 / T1A-2.
T1A-2 is a type-I integral membrane glycoprotein with diverse distribution in human tissues. The physiological function of this protein may be related to its mucin-type character. The homologous protein in other species has been described as a differentiation antigen and influenza-virus receptor. The specific function of this protein has not been determined but it has been proposed as a marker of lung injury.
