Molecular interactions and signaling mediated by the cell adhesion molecule CD44

CD44 mediates cell adhesion and cell migration in leukocytes. Most of these functions involve the interaction of cell surface CD44 with one of its most characterized ligands, hyaluronan or HA, a component of the extracellular matrix. The ability of CD44 to bind HA is strictly regulated in leukocytes...
