This product specifically recognizes epitopes encoded by exons v3-v10 on the variant portion of human CD44.
CD44 is a ubiquitously expressed type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein and proteoglycan, otherwise known as phagocytic glycoprotein 1 (pgp 1), which acts as a receptor for the major extracellular matrix component hyaluronate, and also binds other ligands including collagen and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs).
CD44 is known to play a role in cell-cell interactions, cell adhesion, the activation and homing of lymphocytes, cell migration, hematopoiesis and metastasis, and exists as a number of isoforms generated by the alternative RNA splicing of at least 10 variant exons (CD44v).
Store at +4 °C or at -20 °C if preferred.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended.
This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
If stored in this manner, this product is stable for 18 months after receipt.
