Podoplanin(PDPN) is a small mucin-like transmembrane protein, widely expressed in various specialized cell types throughout the body. This 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. Recombinant human PDPN protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by conventional chromatography techniques.
