Target Information

Target Symbol CD44
Target Name CD44 antigen
UniProt ID P16070
Cellular Localization Membrane.
Function 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.
Post-translational Modifications Proteolytically cleaved in the extracellular matrix by specific proteinases (possibly MMPs) in several cell lines and tumors. N-glycosylated. O-glycosylated; contains more-or-less-sulfated chondroitin sulfate glycans, whose number may affect the accessibility of specific proteinases to their cleavage site(s). Phosphorylated; activation of PKC results in the dephosphorylation of Ser-76 (constitutive phosphorylation site), and the phosphorylation of Ser-672.
Domain The lectin-like LINK domain is responsible for hyaluronan binding.
Sequence Similarities Contains 1 Link domain.
