Podoplanin (D2-40) is a transmembrane, oncofetal, O-linked sialoglycoprotein (mucin type) found on lymphatic endothelium, mesothelium, and fetal testis. It is involved in lymphatic differentiation and is used for identifying lymphatics such as lymphovascular invasion in vascular tumors. This test provides the technical component only, without pathologist interpretation.
