C-type lectin-like receptor (CLEC)-2, the ligand of podoplanin, induces morphological changes in podocytes

Abstract Podoplanin (PDPN) is intensely expressed on the podocyte membrane in an evolutionally conserved manner. CLEC-2, the endogenous ligand of PDPN, is highly expressed in platelets and also exists in a soluble form in plasma. Normally, podocytes are sequestered from CLEC-2, but when the glomerul...
