CD44 is highly polymorphic, possesses a number of alternative splice variants and undergoes extensive post-translational modifications. Increased surface levels of CD44 are characteristic of T cell activation, and expression of the protein is upregulated during the inflammatory response. Research studies have shown that interactions between CD44 and HER2 are linked to an increase in ovarian carcinoma cell growth. CD44 interacts with ezrin, radixin, and moesin (ERM), linking the actin cytoskeleton to the plasma membrane and the ECM. CD44 is constitutively phosphorylated at Ser325 in resting cells. Activation of PKC results in phosphorylation of Ser291, dephosphorylation of Ser325, disassociation of ezrin from CD44, and directional motility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePurification and Purity: The antibody was purified by immunogen affinity chromatography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStorage and Stability: Store at 4°C short term.

The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.135). The section was then incubated with the antibody at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX., Immunofluorescent analysis of CD44 staining in HeLa cells. Formalin-fixed cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in TBS for 5-10 minutes and blocked with 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were probed with the primary antibody in 3% BSA-PBS and incubated overnight at 4 °C in a hidified chamber. Cells were washed with PBST and incubated with a AF488-conjugated secondary antibody (green) in PBS at room temperature in the dark. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlternative Name: LHR; MDU2; MDU3; MIC4; CD44 antigen; CDw44; Epican; Extracellular matrix receptor III; ECMR-III; GP90 lymphocyte homing\/adhesion receptor; HUTCH-I; Heparan sulfate proteoglycan; Hermes antigen; Hyaluronate receptor; Phagocytic glycoprotein 1; PGP-1; Phagocytic glycoprotein I; PGP-I; CD44\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eImmunogen: Purified recombinant human CD44 protein fragments expressed in E.coli.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConjugate: Unconjugated\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eModification: Unmodified\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BioWorld","offers":[{"title":"50µl","offer_id":42989601652915,"sku":"MB66562-50","price":260.23,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100µl","offer_id":42989601685683,"sku":"MB66562-100","price":452.94,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/9482\/6376\/products\/thumbnail_d1447bac803ec9be_11-14-09-19-51_040bee20-48f2-455b-8e13-f7b64defc036.jpg?v=1706096101","url":"https:\/\/afsbio.com\/products\/cd44-monoclonal-antibody-mb66562","provider":"AFSBio Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
