CD44, also known as Pgp1, is a cell-surface glycoprotein involved in adhesion and a marker for effector and memory T cells.
CD44, también conocido como Pgp1, es una glucoproteína de superficie celular implicada en la adhesión y un marcador para células T efectoras y de memoria.
| Front | Also known as phagocytic glycoprotein-1 Pgp1, this is a cell-surface glycoprotein expressed by naive lymphocytes and upregulated on activated T cells. It is a receptor for hyaluronic acid and functions in cell–cell and cell–extracellular matrix adhesion. High expression of this glycoprotein is used as a marker for effector and memory T cells |
