Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
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 cardiovascular system; central nervous system; gut; hemolymphoid system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human PDPN (podoplanin).
