1 18215137 The transmembrane protein podoplanin was identified on HEK-293T cells and was demonstrated to mediate both binding of HEK-293T cells to CLEC-2 and HEK-293T cell activation of CLEC-2-transfected DT-40 B-cells.
2 18215137 The present study identifies podoplanin as a ligand for CLEC-2 on renal cells.
3 19031946 The expression of podoplanin is induced by the homeobox gene Prox-1 and a specific endogenous receptor was identified on platelets.
4 18199599 Albuminuria developed starting at 6 wk of age and coincided with focal and segmental loss of podoplanin, increased expression of desmin, entrapment of albumin in affected podocytes, and focal and segmental foot process effacement at the ultrastructural level.
5 21781241 The endogenous ligand of CLEC-2 has been identified as podoplanin, which is expressed on the surface of tumour cells and facilitates tumour metastasis by inducing platelet activation.
6 21781241 In the developmental stages, when the primary lymph sac is derived from the cardinal vein, podoplanin activates platelets in lymphatic endothelial cells by binding to CLEC-2, which facilitates blood/lymphatic vessel separation.
