Vendor description (summary): Boster Bio Anti-PSGL-1/Selplg Antibody Picoband® catalog # A03674-4.
Biological background
Biological context: A SLe (x)-type proteoglycan, which through high affinity, calcium-dependent interactions with E- and P-selectins, mediates rapid rolling of leukocytes over vascular surfaces during the initial steps in inflammation. Critical for the initial leukocyte capture.
Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Integral component of membrane., tissue context: Highly expressed in blood, bone marrow, brain, adipose tissue, spleen, and thymus. Also expressed in heart, kidney, liver, muscle, ovary, and stomach..
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): Compare Selplg levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of Selplg in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify Selplg-positive populations in single-cell suspensions with appropriate gating and controls.
- ELISA: Use antibody-based detection formats to assess antigen presence or binding in plate-based assays.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Account for isoforms, post-translational modifications, and sample-specific processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
- Use positive/negative biological controls where possible (e.g., known-expressing cells/tissues, knockdown/knockout models) and include appropriate secondary-only/isotype controls for imaging workflows.
Additional product notes (from provided fields)
- Specificity: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Background: Selectin P ligand, also known as SELPLG or CD162 (cluster of differentiation 162), is a human gene. It is mapped to 12q16. 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 of the sialyl Lewis x tetrasaccharide (sLex) to its O-linked glycans, for its high-affinity binding activity. Aberrant expression of this gene and polymorphisms in this gene are associated with defects in the innate and adaptive immune response. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
- Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Cellular localization: Integral component of membrane.
- Tissue details: Highly expressed in blood, bone marrow, brain, adipose tissue, spleen, and thymus. Also expressed in heart, kidney, liver, muscle, ovary, and stomach.
