ABSTRACT:
The present invention concerns a novel CD44-like protein receptor. In particular, isolated nucleic acid molecules are provided encoding the CD44-like protein. CD44-like polypeptides are also provided, as are screening methods for identifying agonists and antagonists capable of enhancing or inhibiting CD44-like protein-mediated signaling. The invention further concerns therapeutic methods for treating diseases associated with processes mediated by CD44-like protein signaling.
