Anti-CD162 (P-selectin Glycoprotein Ligand 1, PSGL-1, Selectin P Ligand, SELPLG)

CD162, also known as p-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1), is a 120-220kD, mucin-like type I transmembrane glycoprotein. CD162 binds to CD62P (P-Selectin), CD62E (E-Selectin) and CD62L (L-Selectin). The interactions between P-selectin and P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) mediate the earliest "rolling" of leukocytes on the lumenal surface of activated endothelium, and the interaction between leukocytes and activated platelets or other leukocytes found at sites of inflammation. CD162 is expressed on neutrophils, monocytes, and most lymphocytes including NK and T cells but PSGL-1 stains B cells at significantly lower levels than other cell types.
