Background

CD44 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that mediates cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions through its affinity for hyaluronic acid (HA) and possibly also through its affinity for other ligands. Adhesion with HA plays an important role in cell migration, tumor growth and progression (PMID: 29747682). CD44 is also involved in lymphocyte activation, recirculation and homing, and in hematopoiesis (PMID: 25941526). CD44 serves as an activation marker distinguishing memory and effector T cells from their naive counterparts. It also plays a role in early T cell signaling events, enhancing T cell receptor signaling (PMID: 26172046). This protein exists in multiple forms generated by alternative RNA splicing and extensive post-translational modifications.
