Application Note
FACS: Use 1μg for 10^6 cells. IHC-Fr (acetone fixed): Use at an assay dependent dilution. IP: Use at an assay dependent dilution. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
Calculated MW
Product Note
Recognizes all isoforms of the Pgp-1 cell surface glycoprotein. The CD44 is present on B-cells, monocytes, macrophages and certain subsets of thymocytes and peripheral T-cells. Mice with the Ly-24.1 allotype have high densities of CD44+ T-cells, while Ly-24.2 strains are low expressors.

Background
The protein encoded by this gene is a cell-surface glycoprotein involved in cell-cell interactions, cell adhesion and migration. It is a receptor for hyaluronic acid (HA) and can also interact with other ligands, such as osteopontin, collagens, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). This protein participates in a wide variety of cellular functions including lymphocyte activation, recirculation and homing, hematopoiesis, and tumor metastasis. Transcripts for this gene undergo complex alternative splicing that results in many functionally distinct isoforms, however, the full length nature of some of these variants has not been determined. Alternative splicing is the basis for the structural and functional diversity of this protein, and may be related to tumor metastasis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
