The antibody TC2 reacts with CD162, a 220 kDa type I integral membrane protein expressed as disulfide-linked homodimer (sialomucin family). CD162 is present on the most peripheral blood T lymphocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, it is also expressed on a subpopulation of B lymphocytes and CD34+ bone marrow cells.

CD162 (P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1, PSGL-1) is a sialomucin constitutively expressed as a disulfide-linked homodimer of two 120 kDa subunits on the surface of circulating leukocytes. CD162 serves as a ligand for P- E- and L-selectin, with the highest affinity for P-selectin. It is thus involved in leukocyte rolling at the endothelial surfaces, prerequisite for firm leukocyte adhesion and subsequent transendothelial migration. CD162 also mediates leukocyte-platelet adhesion and interleukocyte contacts. Whereas serving as an adhession molecule on mature leukocytes, CD162 is a potent negative regulator of human hematopoietic progenitors.Synonyms: P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1, PSGL-1, SELPLG, Selectin P ligand
