  • Alias: CD62;

  • Overview of SELP molecular targets


    CD62P is a 140kDa transmembrane glycoprotein also known as P-Selectin. P-Selectin is stored in the α-granules of platelets and the Weibel-Palade bodies of endothelial cells and is rapidly transported to the plasma membrane upon activation. In inflammatory responses, P-Selectin is thought to mediate the initial adhesion interaction of neutrophils and monocytes to the endothelium; in hemostasis, activated platelets interact with neutrophils and monocytes.

    Human SELP target molecular function (prediction)


    Enables several functions, including fucose binding activity; heparin binding activity; and lipopolysaccharide binding activity. Involved in several processes, including calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules; calcium-mediated signaling using intracellular calcium source; and leukocyte tethering or rolling. Located in external side of plasma membrane; extracellular space; and platelet alpha granule membrane. Is integral component of plasma membrane. Implicated in atopic dermatitis and myocardial infarction. Biomarker of several diseases, including Kawasaki disease; autoimmune disease (multiple); coronary artery disease (multiple); obesity; and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
