Collection: Podoplanin (PDPN)

Podoplanin (PDPN) is a key membrane glycoprotein involved in lymphangiogenesis, cell migration, and tissue repair. Its function is significantly influenced by glycosylation. In therapeutic applications, PDPN glycopeptides are gaining attention for their potential in treating fibrosarcoma and other cancers. PDPN is often overexpressed in fibrosarcoma, a malignant tumor of connective tissue, making its glycopeptides promising targets for developing targeted therapies and diagnostic tools. By focusing on these glycopeptides, researchers aim to create novel treatments that specifically address PDPN-related pathways in tumor progression and improve patient outcomes. Additionally, PDPN glycopeptides hold promise for advancing our understanding of tumor biology and developing strategies to combat various cancers and fibrotic diseases.
