MeSH definition : A cell-surface mucin-like glycoprotein that is encoded by the PDPN gene and is commonly
found in the PULMONARY ALVEOLI, HEART, and endothelium of lymphatic vessels. It interacts
with the C-type lectin-like receptor 2 (CLEC-2), expressed on BLOOD PLATELETS. It
may also function in TUMOR development and progression.;
