CD44v6 is a co-receptor for the receptor tyrosine kinases Met and VEGFR-2 (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2). The binding of these RTKs (receptor tyrosine kinases) to their ligands on cells requires CD44v6. Pull-downs assays show direct binding between these entities. Binding affinities were measured by several biophysical methods.
