Regulated expression of exon v6 containing isoforms of CD44 in man: downregulation during malignant transformation of tumors of squamocellular origin
CD44 is a family of glycoproteins involved in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. In addition to the major 90-kD form present on most hematopoietic cells, larger 140-230 kD forms are found on keratinocytes and carcinoma cell lines. These bigger isoforms of CD44 arise by alternative splicing that...
