Mouse anti-CD44, clone 145-23 (Monoclonal) - 100 ug

145-23 reacts with CD44, a type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein providing cell-cell and cellmatrix adhesion while linked to the cytoskeleton. It is involved in haematopoiesis, lymphocyte homing and activation, and tumor metastasis. It binds to fibrin, hyaluronate and other matrix proteins. On tumors CD44H is highly expressed, suggesting an important role in progression for this isoform. CD44 also forms the protein backbone of the human erythrocyte Lutheran antigen system. The epitope of 145-23 is resistant to (chemo)trypsin digestion.
