Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E. coli-derived mouse CD62P recombinant protein (Position: W42-A267). (reported region: W42-A267).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 110 kDa; calculated MW: nan
- Reactivity: Mouse,Rat
- Applications: ELISA, Flow Cytometry, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
selectin, platelet. CD62P is also known as SELP or P-selectin. This gene encodes a 140 kDa protein that is stored in the alpha-granules of platelets and Weibel-Palade bodies of endothelial cells. This protein redistributes to the plasma membrane during platelet activation and degranulation and mediates the interaction of activated endothelial cells or platelets with leukocytes. The membrane protein is a calcium-dependent receptor that binds to sialylated forms of Lewis blood group carbohydrate antigens on neutrophils and monocytes. Alternative splice variants may occur but are not well documented. Functional note: Ca (2+)-dependent receptor for myeloid cells that binds to carbohydrates on neutrophils and monocytes. Mediates the interaction of activated endothelial cells or platelets with leukocytes. The ligand recognized is sialyl-Lewis X. Mediates rapid rolling of leukocyte rolling over vascular surfaces during the initial steps in inflammation through interaction with PSGL1. Reported localization: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Expression/tissue context: Stored in the alpha-granules of platelets and Weibel-Palade bodies of endothelial cells. Upon cell activation by agonists, P-selectin is transported rapidly to the cell surface.
Research relevance and current trends
- Adaptive Immunity: Researchers commonly examine how Selp relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Angiogenesis: Researchers commonly examine how Selp relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Atherosclerosis: Researchers commonly examine how Selp relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
Common research applications
- Western blotting: compare relative Selp levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.
- Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and shifts in expression; gating strategy and background staining controls are essential.
- ELISA-compatible use: when applicable, interpret signal as relative abundance across sample sets with consistent handling and dilution strategy.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity notes: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Cross-reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Isoforms and PTMs: Apparent size and signal patterns can differ across splice isoforms, proteolytic processing, and post-translational modifications.
- Controls: Include an isotype control (as relevant), no-primary control for imaging, and orthogonal validation such as KD/KO samples when available.
