LYVE-1 is also known as XLKD1 and may function in lympathic hyaluronan transport and have a role in tumor metastasis. This Protein is a Link domain-containing hyaladherin, a protein capable of binding to hyaluronic acid (HA), homologous to CD44, the main HA receptor. It is primarily expressed on both the luminal and abluminal surfaces of lymphatic vessels but is also observed in normal liver blood sinusoids, and embryonic blood vessels. It is selective marker of the lymphatic endothelium, is a surface endocytic receptor for hyaluronan (HA), which is an extracellular glycosaminoglycan involved in cell adhesion and migration. Recombinant protein corresponding to aa25-253 from human LYVE-1, fused to His-Tag at C-terminal, expressed in Baculovirus.
