Pdpn - podoplanin

Predicted to enable chaperone binding activity; chemokine binding activity; and signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including lymph node development; lymphatic endothelial cell fate commitment; and positive regulation of platelet aggregation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including lung alveolus development; lymphangiogenesis; and prostaglandin metabolic process. Located in several cellular components, including external side of plasma membrane; lamellipodium; and ruffle. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; central nervous system; hemolymphoid system; and reproductive system. Orthologous to human PDPN (podoplanin).
