Function | Receptor for hyaluronic acid (HA). Mediates cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions through its affinity for HA, and possibly also through its affinity for other ligands such as osteopontin, collagens, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Adhesion with HA plays an important role in cell migration, tumor growth and progression. In cancer cells, may play an important role in invadopodia formation. Also involved in lymphocyte activation, recirculation and homing, and in hematopoiesis. Altered expression or dysfunction causes numerous pathogenic phenotypes. Great protein heterogeneity due to numerous alternative splicing and post-translational modification events. Receptor for LGALS9; the interaction enhances binding of SMAD3 to the FOXP3 promoter, leading to up-regulation of FOXP3 expression and increased induced regulatory T (iTreg) cell stability and suppressive function (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P15379}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P15379}. Note=Colocalizes with actin in membrane protrusions at wounding edges {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P15379} |
Tissue Location | Isoform 10 (epithelial isoform) is expressed by cells of epithelium and highly expressed by carcinomas Expression is repressed in neuroblastoma cells |
