Summary
Predicted to enable cytokine receptor activity and hyaluronic acid binding activity. Acts upstream of or within mesenchymal stem cell proliferation. Predicted to be located in basolateral plasma membrane; extracellular region; and microvillus. Predicted to be part of macrophage migration inhibitory factor receptor complex. Is expressed in ectoderm; musculoskeletal system; nervous system; pharyngeal arch; and vestibuloauditory system. 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)).
