CD44 Human Recombinant Protein

Specifications

Product Data
Species	Human
Protein Source	Human
Expression cDNA Clone or AA Sequence	Protein Sequence (showhide) Gln21-Pro220
Tag	C-Fc
Buffer	Lyophilized from a 0.2 um filtered solution of 20mM PB, 150mM NaCl, pH 7.4.
Note	Recombinant Human CD44 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Gln21-Pro220 is expressed with a Fc tag at the C-terminus.

Summary	CD44 is a cell-surface receptor for hyaluronic acid and also interacts with other ligands, such as osteopontin, collagens, and matrix metalloproteinases. A large number of CD44 isoforms can be generated by the insertion of different combinations of at least nine exons. Increased CD44 antigen is associated with relapses in non-small cell lung cancers. Furthermore, an increasing quantity of evidence suggests that CD44 has various functions related to inflammatory disease. CD44 deficiency induces severe liver injury. CD44-hyaluronate mediates in lymphocyte T and monocyte adhesion to the endothelium, stimulates proinflammatory cytokine release from macrophages and participates in dedifferentiation phenotype of smooth muscle cells from contractile state to synthetic one.
