Description: The HI44a monoclonal antibody reacts with human CD44, a 85 kD transmembrane glycoprotein commonly expressed on the surface of leukocytes, endothelial cells, lymphohematopoietic cells, epithelial cells and hepatocytes. In many organisms, CD44 acts to positively regulate peptidyl-tyrosine phosphorylation, enhances peptidyl-serine phosphorylation and is a positive regulator of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade. Also, it acts in critical cellular pathways, namely, the interferon-gamma-mediated signaling pathway and negative regulation of intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to DNA damage by p53 class mediator. From a research standpoint, it is of biological interest due to its association with key macromolecules/ligands such as Matrix metalloprotein- ases (MMPs), Collagen, Osteopontin and Hyaluronan. CD44 is a very popular antibody target, with over 40000 publications in the last decade. CD44 has been widely used in immunology research, typically serving as a phenotypic marker for differentiating cell types in flow cytometric applications. This antibody was purified through affinity chromatography.
