CD162 Antibody / P selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 / PSGL-1

Selectin P ligand, also known as SELPLG or CD162 (cluster of differentiation 162), is a human gene. It is mapped to 5 F; 5 55.59 cM. This gene encodes a glycoprotein that functions as a high affinity counter-receptor for the cell adhesion molecules P-, E- and L- selectin expressed on myeloid cells and stimulated T lymphocytes. As such, this protein plays a critical role in leukocyte trafficking during inflammation by tethering of leukocytes to activated platelets or endothelia expressing selectins. This protein requires two post-translational modifications, tyrosine sulfation and the addition...
