SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
basic FUNCTION
  • having a hyaluronan receptor activity
  • may have a role in cell adhesion and motility
  • may mediate signals from extracellular matrix to the cell cytoskeleton via interaction with different intracellular binding partners and thereby be involved in the modulation of cortical structures in the cell
