U-Blot® CD44 Rabbit mAb (Ready to Use)

Background：The protein encoded byThis 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 forThis gene undergo complex alternative splicing that results in many functionally distinct isoforms, however,The full length nature of some ofThese variants has not been determined. Alternative splicing isThe basis forThe structural and functional diversity ofThis protein, and may be related to tumor metastasis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
