CD44 is a receptor of hyaluronic acid (HA). CD44 undergoes post-translational modification. Its sialofucosylation changes it to a form which directs migration of stem cells to bone marrow. Binding site of CD44 hyaluronan-binding domain (2jcq). Relevance CD44 is a potential drug target for treatment of malignant neoplasms. Anti-CD44 antibody treatment lowers hyperglycemia and chronic inflammatory diseases.
