Anti-Hu PDPN (cancer type) Purified

PDPN (podoplanin) is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein of mucin-type character. The specific function of this protein has not been determined, but its homologs in other species were described as differentiation antigens. PDPN can be used as a marker of lung injury. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.Specificity :The mouse monoclonal antibody LpMab-23 recognizes an extracellular epitope on human cancer type PDPN, a transmembrane glycoprotein, serving as a prognostic marker of oral carcinoma. This antibody recognizes an altered glycosylation pattern that occurs on oral cancer cells and it shows minimal reactivity with the surrounding non-cancerous tissue.
