Production of the CD44 human receptor in Escherichia coli and study of its interactions with potential inhibitors.
The cell transmembrane receptor CD44 is a member of type I transmembrane receptor family that is found on the outer surface of different types of both immune and cancer cells. It is used by the cells to detect as well as to respond on different changes in the near environment.
