| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) 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)). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit impaired T lymphocyte trafficking resulting in muted inflammatory responses, altered myeloid progenitor distribution, reduced growth of tumors, and impaired uterine involution and maintenance of lactation.
