Gp36 Antibody / Glycoprotein 36 Antibody detects podoplanin (PDPN), a heavily glycosylated transmembrane protein historically known as glycoprotein 36 or Gp36. Podoplanin is expressed by lymphatic endothelial cells and several specialized cell populations and is widely investigated in lymphatic vascular development, cell migration and cancer biology. The mature glycoprotein is commonly observed at approximately 38-43 kDa despite a substantially lower predicted molecular weight, reflecting extensive post-translational glycosylation.
Gp36 is a type I transmembrane protein containing a heavily O-glycosylated extracellular region and short cytoplasmic tail. Although podoplanin lacks intrinsic enzymatic activity, interactions with extracellular receptors and intracellular cytoskeletal-associated proteins allow it to influence cellular morphology, adhesion and migration. PDPN also interacts with the platelet receptor CLEC-2, connecting podoplanin biology with platelet activation and mechanisms important to normal lymphatic vascular development.
Glycoprotein 36 is strongly associated with lymphatic endothelial cells and is commonly investigated as a marker of lymphatic differentiation. Podoplanin expression has also been reported in lymphangiomas, Kaposi sarcomas and subsets of angiosarcoma showing probable lymphatic differentiation. In addition, PDPN is found in stromal cells of peripheral lymphoid tissues and thymic epithelial cells, giving the protein relevance to studies extending beyond vascular endothelium.
Podoplanin is also an established target in cancer and tumor pathology research. PDPN expression has been investigated in numerous malignancies and in stromal populations within the tumor microenvironment. It is particularly well established as a sensitive marker associated with epithelioid mesothelioma and can be incorporated into antibody panels used to investigate mesothelial differentiation and distinguish mesothelioma or mesothelial cells from pulmonary carcinomas.
Clone PDPN/7808R is a recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody generated against a recombinant human protein sequence within amino acids 1-100. It has been evaluated by Western blot and immunohistochemistry, with validation including human lung tissue lysate and FFPE human tonsil tissue. Recombinant production provides a defined antibody sequence and supports consistent performance across manufacturing lots. NSJ Bioreagents supplies antibodies for lymphatic, vascular and cancer research. A Gp36 Antibody can be used to investigate glycoprotein 36 expression, lymphatic endothelial biology, lymphangiogenesis and podoplanin-associated tumor biology.
For broader research on podoplanin expression and lymphatic endothelial biology, including a protein microarray validated reagent, see our Podoplanin Antibody / Lymphatic Endothelial Cell Marker page.
Optimal dilution of the Gp36 Antibody / Glycoprotein 36 Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A recombinant partial protein sequence (within amino acids 1-100) from the human protein was used as the immunogen for the Gp36 antibody.
Aliquot the Gp36 antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
