Merck, MABT78, Anti-mouse CD44 (H-CAM) Antibody, clone KM201

General description
86 kDa calculated
CD44, also known as H-CAM is a distinct adhesion molecule that, with its 13 known isoforms, comprises a family of transmembrane glycoproteins involved in a wide variety of significant biological processes. Members belonging to this family are involved in apoptosis, migration, metastasis, tumor progression, lymphocyte homing, and the attachment of hematopoietic cells to stromal cells. CD44 is the primary cell surface receptor for hyaluronic acid (HA), and is also a notable target for WNT signaling within the intestinal mucosa. Recent studies have used CD44 marker as a means to isolate different cancer stem cells (CSC) such as; colorectal CSC, pancreatic CSC, and prostate CSC.
