SELP (selectin P) is an integral membrane C-type lectin that encodes a 140kDa protein. It is localized in the Weibel-Palade bodies of endothelial cells and a-granules of platelets.

Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: P-selectin (SELP) binds to neutrophils with the help of P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 (PSGL-1), and sialyl-Lewis X (sLex) glycan in calcium-dependent manner. It is translocated to the plasma membrane by thrombin, histamine and other mediators released by mast cell activation. It plays an important role in the adhesion of myelomonocytes to platelets or endothelial cells.
