CD44

CD44 molecule (Indian blood group)

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. In cancer cells, may play an important role in invadopodia formation. 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.

Gene Name:	CD44 molecule (Indian blood group)
Synonyms:	CD44, CDW44, CD44 antigen, Cell surface glycoprotein CD44, CSPG8, ECMR-III, Epican, HUTCH-I, LHR, MDU2, MC56, MIC4, Hermes antigen, Hyaluronate receptor, Phagocytic glycoprotein 1, PGP-1, PGP-I, Pgp1, Phagocytic glycoprotein I, MDU3, CD44R, HCELL, Heparan sulfate proteoglycan
Target Sequences:	NM_000610 NP_000601.3 P16070
