Background
- CD44 (H-CAM/Pgp-1/Hermes antigen/ECMR-III/HUTCH-I) is a highly glycosylated transmembrane protein expressed by lymphocytes, fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, and epithelial cells. CD44 functions as lymphocyte adhesion molecule, acting as a matrix receptor that mediates cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix. CD44 is also involved in T-lymphocyte activation, lymphocyte homing, cell migration, and hemopoiesis. Expression of CD44 on the cell surface changes profoundly during tumor metastasis, and the transition from non-metastatic to metastatic tumor cell variants is associated with expression of CD44 variants (CD44v's), making CD44 a potential cancer marker. CD44 has a predicted molecular weight of 85-90 kDa, but glycosylation can increase the apparent to ~200 kDa.Synonyms: CDw44, ECMR-III, Epican, Extracellular matrix receptor III, GP90 lymphocyte homing/adhesion receptor, HUTCH-I, Heparan sulfate proteoglycan, Hermes antigen, Hyaluronate receptor, LHR, MDU2, MDU3, MIC4, PGP-1, Phagocytic glycoprotein 1
