Summary: Enables cargo receptor activity; hyaluronic acid binding activity; and type II transforming growth factor beta receptor binding activity. Contributes to cytokine binding activity and cytokine receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including hyaluronan catabolic process; negative regulation of T cell activation; and regulation of intracellular signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including Wnt signaling pathway; morphogenesis of a branching epithelium; and wound healing involved in inflammatory response. Located in basolateral plasma membrane; external side of plasma membrane; and microvillus. Part of macrophage migration inhibitory factor receptor complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; branchial arch; central nervous system; genitourinary system; and limb. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast carcinoma (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); and prostate cancer. Orthologous to human CD44 (CD44 molecule (IN blood group)).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
