The protein expressed by gene CD44 functions as a cell-surface receptor involved in cell-cell interactions, cell adhesion, and migration, allowing cells to detect and react to changes in their tissue microenvironment. It is implicated in numerous cellular processes, including the activation, recirculation, and homing of T-lymphocytes, hematopoiesis, inflammation, and the response to bacterial infection. Through its ectodomain, CD44 interacts with extracellular matrix components like hyaluronan, collagen, growth factors, cytokines, and proteases, serving as a platform for signal transduction by forming protein complexes with receptor kinases and membrane proteases via its cytoplasmic domain. Effectors such as PKN2, the RhoGTPases RAC1 and RHOA, Rho-kinases, and phospholipase C coordinate signaling pathways that promote calcium mobilization and actin-mediated cytoskeleton reorganization crucial for cell migration and adhesion. This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.

ab254530 staining CD44 in wild-type HeLa cells (top panel) and CD44 knockout HeLa cells (Human CD44 knockout HeLa cell line ab262515)(bottom panel). The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5 min) then permeabilized with 0.1% Tween for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated with ab254530 at 0.4μg/ml concentration and Anti-beta Tubulin antibody - Loading Control ab6046 (Rabbit polyclonal to beta Tubulin) at 1/1000 dilution overnight at 4°C followed by a further incubation at room temperature for 1h with a goat secondary antibody to mouse IgG (Alexa Fluor® 488) (Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed ab150117) at 2 μg/ml (shown in green) and a goat secondary antibody to rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor® 594) (Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594) ab150080) at 2 μg/ml (shown in red). Nuclear DNA was labelled in blue with DAPI.
Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems TCS SP8).
ab254530 was shown to react with CD44 in wild-type HAP1 cells in Western blot with loss of signal observed in a CD44 knockout cell line. Wild-type HAP1 and CD44 knockout cell lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membranes were blocked in 5% milk in TBST for 1 hr before incubation with ab254530 overnight at 4 °C at a 1/1000 dilution. Blots were incubated with goat anti-mouse HRP secondary antibodies at 0.3ug/mL before imaging. These data were provided by YCharOS Inc., an open science company with the mission of characterizing commercially available antibody reagents for all human proteins. Abcam and YCharOS are working together to help address the reproducibility crisis by enabling the life science community to better evaluate commercially available antibodies.
