Protein Function CD44 is a cell surface adhesion molecule, which is overexpressed on cancer stem cells. The interaction of CD44 with hyaluronan is responsible for tumor development, metastasis, and expression of the chemoresistant phenotype.

Significance of PTMs Activation of PKC results in the dephosphorylation of Ser-330 (constitutive phosphorylation site), and the phosphorylation of Ser-296.N-Linked Glycosylation at Asn leads to the additional structural diversity of CD44
Additional Comments The overexpression of CD44 impedes the cytotoxic effect of chemotherapy medications in various cancers. Therefore, the high expression of CD44 is associated with a poor prognosis in affected patients.
