Target
-
FunctionReceptor for hyaluronic acid (HA). Mediates cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions through its affinity for HA, and possibly also through its affinity for other ligands such as osteopontin, collagens, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Adhesion with HA plays an important role in cell migration, tumor growth and progression. Also involved in lymphocyte activation, recirculation and homing, and in hematopoiesis. Altered expression or dysfunction causes numerous pathogenic phenotypes. Great protein heterogeneity due to numerous alternative splicing and post-translational modification events.
-
Tissue specificityIsoform 10 (epithelial isoform) is expressed by cells of epithelium and highly expressed by carcinomas. Expression is repressed in neuroblastoma cells.
-
Sequence similaritiesContains 1 Link domain.
-
DomainThe lectin-like LINK domain is responsible for hyaluronan binding.
-
Post-translational
modificationsProteolytically cleaved in the extracellular matrix by specific proteinases (possibly MMPs) in several cell lines and tumors.
N-glycosylated.
O-glycosylated; contains more-or-less-sulfated chondroitin sulfate glycans, whose number may affect the accessibility of specific proteinases to their cleavage site(s).
Phosphorylated; activation of PKC results in the dephosphorylation of Ser-706 (constitutive phosphorylation site), and the phosphorylation of Ser-672. -

Flow Cytometry - Anti-CD44 antibody (ab157107)This image is courtesy of an anonymous Abreviewab157107 staining CD44 in the Human gastric cancer cell line by Flow Cytometry. Cells were fixed with paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.5% Triton X-100. The sample was incubated with the primary antibody (1/100) for 30 minutes at 4°C. An Alexa Fluor® 647-conjugated Goat anti-rabbit IgG (1/1000) was used as the secondary antibody.
