Function as an anti-adhesive molecule that maintains an open filtration pathway between neighboring foot processes in the podocyte by charge repulsion. Acts as a pro-adhesive molecule, enhancing the adherence of cells to immobilized ligands, increasing the rate of migration and cell-cell contacts in an integrin-dependent manner. Induces the formation of apical actin-dependent microvilli. Involved in the formation of a preapical plasma mbrane subdomain to set up inital epithelial polarization and the apical lumen formation during renal tubulogenesis. Plays a role in cancer development and aggressiveness by inducing cell migration and invasion through its interaction with the actin-binding protein EZR. Affects EZR-dependent signaling events, leading to increased activities of the MAPK and PI3K pathways in cancer cells.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReagent standardization: using recombinant proteins as reference materials for quantitative calibration and cross-study comparability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInteraction-focused studies: mapping binding partners, affinity changes, and structure–function relationships across variants or domains.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-omic readouts: combining recombinant perturbations with transcript, protein, and functional endpoints to connect mechanism to phenotype.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssay development and validation: use as a defined input or standard where protein identity is required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBinding studies: evaluate interaction strength and specificity using plate-based or biophysical formats.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCell-response profiling: add protein to cultured cells and interpret downstream marker changes with appropriate controls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterpretation is most robust when signal changes are evaluated relative to matched controls (buffer-only, unrelated protein controls, or pathway controls) and when readouts are compared across dose and time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIsoforms and PTMs can influence binding and activity; ensure the expressed region and expression system match your experimental needs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecies differences may affect receptor binding or antibody recognition; confirm species\/source alignment with your model.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse concept-level controls such as negative controls (no protein), matrix controls, or orthogonal readouts to support conclusions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProt keyword search: https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb?query=PODXL - NCBI Gene search: https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=PODXL - PubMed search: https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=PODXL - Ensembl search: https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=PODXL - Reactome Pathway Browser: https:\/\/reactome.org\/content\/query?q=PODXL --\u003e","brand":"CUSABIO TECHNOLOGY LLC","offers":[{"title":"1 mg","offer_id":53053054288237,"sku":"CSB-YP518830HU-1MG","price":2010.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug","offer_id":53053210427757,"sku":"CSB-YP518830HU-100UG","price":470.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 ug","offer_id":53053210460525,"sku":"CSB-YP518830HU-20UG","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/CSB-YP518830HU-SDS.jpg?v=1772172912","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/recombinant-human-podocalyxin-protein-podxl-partial-bhp10504421","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
