CUSABIO expressed the human CD44 amino acid residues Gln21-Glu606 carrying an N-terminal 6xHis-SUMO-tag in E.coli. The obtained product is the recombinant partial-length human CD44 protein. It underwent SDS-PAGE analysis and got a purity greater than 90%. The observed molecular mass was approximately 90 kDa, slightly higher than the calculated one (80.2 kDa). This recombinant CD44 protein may be applied to synthesize specific antibodies or in the studies of CD44-mediated signal transduction.
CD44 is a non-kinase transmembrane glycoprotein ubiquitously expressed throughout the body. CD44 binding to its main ligand, hyaluronic acid (HA), leads to activation of cell signaling pathways that induces cell proliferation, increases cell survival, modulates cytoskeletal changes, and enhances cellular motility. Overexpression of CD44 has been detected in cancer stem cells and is associated with cancer development, progression, migration, and invasion.
