Hyaluronan Receptors

CD44-antigener

Svensk definition

Sura, sulfaterade glykoproteiner i cellmembran, som visar sig i olika splitsade och glykosylerade former på en mångfald olika celltyper, som t ex mogna T-celler, B-celler, medullära tymocyter, granulo cyter, makrofager, erytrocyter och fibroblaster. CD44-antigener är de viktigaste ytreceptorerna för hyaluronat.

Engelsk definition

Acidic sulfated integral membrane glycoproteins expressed in several alternatively spliced and variable glycosylated forms on a wide variety of cell types including mature T-cells, B-cells, medullary THYMOCYTES; GRANULOCYTES; MACROPHAGES; erythrocytes, and fibroblasts. Their interaction with HYALURONIC ACID mediates binding of lymphocytes to high endothelial VENULES.
