Abstract excerpt
CD44 is a widely expressed cell adhesion molecule that binds the extracellular matrix component, hyaluronan, in a tightly regulated manner. Previous studies have shown that the CD44-hyaluronan interaction is affected by changes in the glycosylation state of CD44. In this study, we take advantage of several well-characterized murine L cell mutants defective in heparan sulfate synthesis (gro2C cells), heparan...
