CD44, Human (HEK293, His)

CD44 Protein is a type of cell surface receptor protein. CD44 Protein mediates various signaling pathways, including protein kinases, changes in the cytoskeleton, intracellular pathways, proteases, and transcription factors, which promote cancer cell division, proliferation, invasion, angiogenesis, and metabolic changes. The expression level of CD44 Protein is positively correlated with the malignancy and invasiveness of glioblastoma. CD44 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is a recombinant CD44 protein tagged with a C-6*His label, expressed by HEK293. CD44 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) consists of 200 amino acids and has a molecular weight of 38-50 kDa[1][2].
