Description:
Anti-H-CAM, clone F10-44-2
Trade Name:
Chemicon (Millipore)
Specificity:
The CD44 antigen is a transmembranous glycoprotein of 80 kDa, which has undergone both extensive O-linked and N-linked glycosylation. This antibody is specific for epitope 1. The CD44 antigen is present on T lymphocytes, granulocytes, red blood cells, brain and epithelial cells. There is weak expression on platelets.

Entrez Gene Summary:
The protein encoded by this gene is a cell-surface glycoprotein involved in cell-cell interactions, cell adhesion and migration. It is a receptor for hyaluronic acid (HA) and can also interact with other ligands, such as osteopontin, collagens, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). This protein participates in a wide variety of cellular functions including lymphocyte activation, recirculation and homing, hematopoiesis, and tumor metastasis. Transcripts for this gene undergo complex alternative splicing that results in many functionally distinct isoforms, however, the full length nature of some of these variants has not been determined. Alternative splicing is the basis for the structural and functional diversity of this protein, and may be related to tumor metastasis.
UniProt Summary:
FUNCTION: SwissProt: P16070 # Receptor 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.
SIZE: 742 amino acids; 81554 Da
SUBUNIT: Interacts with HA, as well as other glycosaminoglycans, collagen, laminin, and fibronectin via its N-terminal segment. Interacts with ANK, the ERM proteins (VIL2, RDX and MSN), and NF2 via its C-terminal segment.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: An epithelial isoform (CD44E) is expressed by cells of epithelium and highly expressed by carcinomas. An hematopoietic isoform (CD44H) is expressed by cells of mesodermal origin. Expression is repressed in neuroblastoma cells.
PTM: Proteolytically 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.
SIMILARITY: SwissProt: P16070 ## Contains 1 Link domain.
