Human P-Selectin ELISA Kit | SELP elisa kit
P-Selectin Human ELISA Kit
Background: P-selectin, also called GMP-140, CD62, or selectin P, is a 140-kD adhesion molecule that in humans is encoded by the SELP gene. It is located on chromosome 1q21-q24, spans>50 kb and contains 17 exons in human. It is constitutively expressed on megakaryocytes (the precursor of platelets) and endothelial cells. P-selectin plays an essential role in the initial recruitment of leukocytes (white blood cells) to the site of injury during inflammation. Ligands for P-selectin on eosinophils and neutrophils are similar sialylated, protease-sensitive, endo-beta-galactosidase-resistant structures, clearly different than those reported for E-selectin, and suggest disparate roles for P-selectin and E-selectin during recruitment during inflammatory responses.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
Function: Ca2+-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. Ref.7
Subunit structure: Interacts with SNX17. Interacts with PSGL1/SEPL and PODXL2 and mediates neutrophil adhesion and leukocyte rolling. This interaction requires the sialyl-Lewis X epitope of PSGL1 and PODXL2, and specific tyrosine sulfation on PSGL1. Ref.6 Ref.7 Ref.8 Ref.9 Ref.10 Ref.12 Ref.15
Subcellular location: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
Tissue specificity: 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.
Involvement in disease: Ischemic stroke (ISCHSTR) [MIM:601367]: A stroke is an acute neurologic event leading to death of neural tissue of the brain and resulting in loss of motor, sensory and/or cognitive function. Ischemic strokes, resulting from vascular occlusion, is considered to be a highly complex disease consisting of a group of heterogeneous disorders with multiple genetic and environmental risk factors.Note: Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Ref.20
Sequence similarities: Belongs to the selectin/LECAM family.Contains 1 C-type lectin domain.Contains 1 EGF-like domain.Contains 9 Sushi (CCP/SCR) domains.

Product Notes
The Human SELP selp (Catalog #AAA355417) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA355417 ELISA Kit recognizes Human SELP. AAA Biotech's P-Selectin can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Quantitative sELISA (EIA). For quantitative detection of P-Selectin in serum, plasma, body fluids, tissue lysates or cell culture supernates. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the SELP selp for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "P-Selectin, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
