Summary: Predicted to enable chemokine binding activity; protein-folding chaperone 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 brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human PDPN (podoplanin).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
