Cell migration-inducing and hyaluronan-binding protein (CEMIP), formerly known as KIAA1199, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CEMIP gene.[1] CEMIP has been shown to bind hyaluronic acid and catalyze its depolymerization independently of CD44 and hyaluronidases.[2] Such function has been also been validated in mice.[3]

CEMIP is associated with nonsyndromic deafness,[4] as well as a variety of cancers.[5]
