A pull-down and slot blot-based screening system for inhibitor compounds of the podoplanin-CLEC-2 interaction.

Podoplanin, a transmembrane glycoprotein, is overexpressed in certain types of tumors and induces platelet aggregation by binding to C-type lectin-like receptor 2 (CLEC-2) on the platelet membrane. Activated platelets release granule components, which in turn, trigger epithelial-mesenchymal transiti...
