Gene information for SELPLG (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6404
Official gene symbolSELPLG
Full nameselectin P ligand
Aliases,CD162,CLA,PSGL-1,PSGL1,
Gene summarySELPLG is the high affinity counter-receptor for P-selectin on myeloid cells and stimulated T lymphocytes. As such, it plays a critical role in the tethering of these cells to activated platelets or endothelia expressing P-selectin. The organization of the SELPG gene closely resembles that of CD43 and the human platelet glycoprotein GpIb-alpha both of which have an intron in the 5-prime-noncoding region, a long second exon containing the complete coding region, and TATA-less promoters.
