Podocalyxin like proteins (e.g. PCLP and PCLP-2) having selectin ligand activity are provided. Also provided are nucleic acid compositions encoding novel PCLP-2 proteins. The subject polypeptide and nucleic acid compositions find use in a variety of applications, including research, diagnostic, and therapeutic agent screening applications, as well as in treatment therapies for disease conditions associated with podocalyxin like protein activity. In particular, methods of treating diseases associated with podocalyxin like protein selectin binding activity and/or chemokine presenting activity are provided, where such diseases include inflammation and the like.

Selectin ligands

Nucleic acid compositions encoding novel endoglycan proteins, as well as the novel endoglycan proteins, are provided. Also provided are methods of producing the subject nucleic acid and protein compositions. The subject polypeptide and nucleic acid compositions find use in a variety of applications, including diagnostic and therapeutic agent screening applications, as well as in treatment therapies for disease conditions associated with endoglycan activity. In particular, methods of treating diseases associated with endoglycan selectin binding activity and/or chemokine presenting activity are provided, where such diseases include inflammation and the like.
