Recombinant Human PODXL protein (SUMO, His tag)

Podocalyxin (PODXL), also known as Podocalyxin-like protein 1 (PCLP-1), is a heavily glycosylated transmembrane sialoprotein in the CD34 and Endoglycan family.Podocalyxin is expressed on glomerular and vascular endothelial cells, neurons, hematopoietic, mesenchymal, and cardiac stem cells, and metastatic carcinoma and glioblastoma tumor cells. A soluble form of Podocalyxin can be released into the urine of women with pre-eclampsia. Podocalyxin promotes platelet activation, neurite outgrowth, branching, and synaptogenesis, homing of hematopoietic progenitor cells to the bone marrow and spleen, and engraftment of mesenchymal and cardiac stem cells into ischemic heart and kidney. Its interactions with L-Selectin and E-Selectin mediate the tethering of lymphocytes and metastatic tumor cells to the vascular endothelium.

Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80°C. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
