Related Product Information for anti-CD44 antibody
The CD44 molecule belongs to a family of cellular adhesion molecules found on a wide range of normal and malignant cells in epithelial, mesothelial and hemopoiesis tissues. CD44 is a single gene with 20 exons, of which 10 are normally expressed to encode the basic CD44 (H-CAM) molecule. The additional 10 exons (v1 to v10) are only expressed by alternative splicing of the nuclear RNA. The expression of specific cell adhesion molecule CD44 splice variants has been reported to be associated with metastasis in certain human malignancies, such as breast cancer. A complex pattern of CD44 variant expression in different tumors compared to the CD44 expression of the normal cell of origin has been reported (Fox SB et al., Cancer Research (53): 4539-4546, (1994)). High levels of expression were observed with the variant exons by breast carcinomas that arise from breast ductal epithelium which do not normally express CD44.
Conversely, normal gastrointestinal epithelium were reported to express low levels of many of the CD44 variants and the derived colon cancers expressed low and variable levels of the variants. Respiratory epithelium which expressed variants at high levels in normal cells were reported to express the same variants at similar levels in lung carcinomas.

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

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. Receptor for LGALS9; the interaction enhances binding of SMAD3 to the FOXP3 promoter, leading to up-regulation of FOXP3 expression and increased induced regulatory T (iTreg) cell stability and suppressive function ().

Product Notes

The CD44 cd44 (Catalog #AAA555804) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The CD44 Variant 3 reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's CD44 Variant 3 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Formalin/Paraffin. Immunohistochemistry-1:25-1:50 (Paraffin-embedded and frozen tissue) Trypsin digestion of paraffin sections may enhance staining in some cases. 60 minutes primary antibody incubation at 25 degree C Standard ABC technique. Western Blotting: 1:25-1:50. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CD44 cd44 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "CD44 Variant 3, Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
