Many functional properties of CD44s have been determined, including cell adhesion, lymphocyte activation, signal transduction, hematopoiesis, recirculation and homing, and CD44v6 has been particularly implicated in leukocyte to enothelial cell attachment and rolling, as well as homing to sites of inflammation and peripheral organs.
As well as its role as a receptor for hyaluronic acid (HA), CD44s also interacts with other ligands including matrix metalloproteinases(MMPs), fibronectin and collagens, and has been linked with cancer of the breast, colon, stomach and squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) of the head and neck, as well as being a prognostic marker for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
The variant isoforms of CD44 (CD44v) are highly expressed on epithelial cells but not leukocytes, and their association with cell transformation and cancer is also well established, supported by numerous immunohistochemical studies including those looking at HNSCC. Studies looking at the role of CD44v6 in Chrohns disease, in which clone VFF-18 was generated and characterised, revealed that VFF-18 binds to CD44v6 with high affinity when compared with anti-CD44v6 clone 2F10, and is suitable for detecting CD44v6 in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (Reinisch et a.l 1998).
Mouse anti Human CD44v6, clone VFF-18 is suitable for detecting CD44v6 in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (Reinisch et al, 1998).
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
CD44: 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. Interacts with PKN2. 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. Isoform 10 (epithelial isoform) is expressed by cells of epithelium and highly expressed by carcinomas. Expression is repressed in neuroblastoma cells. 19 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
