CD44 / VioBright FITC / REA664
Product Details
| Description | Clone REA664 recognizes the mouse CD44 antigen, which is also known as Pgp-1, HCELL, HUTCH-I, HCAM, HERMES, or Ly-24. CD44 is a 80–95 kDa membrane glycoprotein and expressed by a variety of hematopoetic and non-hematopoetic cells. Different isoforms are generated by alternative splicing. Clone REA664 reacts with all isoforms and both allelic forms of CD44. CD44 functions as a receptor for hyaluronic acid (HA) and 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). The interaction between galectin-9 and CD44 increases the stability and function of adaptive regulatory T cells. CD44 expression is upregulated on naive T cells upon activation and high CD44 expression is maintained on memory T cells. Therefore, CD44 is often used to discriminate CD44high antigen–experienced T cells from CD44low (CD62L+) naive T cells. | Additional information: Clone REA664 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors. | |

About CD44
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]
