Hyaluronan

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2007
The polysaccharide hyaluronan is an essential component of the vertebrate extracellular matrix and also produced by viruses, bacteria and fungi. Although the hyaluronan polymer is simply a disaccharide that repeats many thousands of times, it has an amazing array of biological functions and medical uses.

Hyaluronan and morphogenesis

Birth Defects Research Part C: Embryo Today: Reviews, 2004
AbstractIn the past decade, there has been an explosion of interest in hyaluronan, an often misunderstood, biochemically simple, yet functionally complex carbohydrate polymer that is a resident of many extracellular matrices. Previously thought of as a passive, space‐filling component of the extracellular matrix, the so‐called “goo” concept, hyaluronan

Role of hyaluronan and hyaluronan synthase in endometrial cancer

Oncology Reports, 2005
The aim of this study was to determine if the immunohistochemical expression of hyaluronan synthase (HAS) and serum levels of hyaluronan correlate with the clinicopathological manifestations of endometrial carcinoma. Sera were obtained from 59 endometrial cancer patients and 22 post-menopausal healthy women.

Hyaluronan–Phospholipid Interactions

Journal of Structural Biology, 1997
Hyaluronan-phospholipid interactions have been studied in vitro by negative staining and rotary shadowing electron microscopy. Hyaluronan (HA) molecules of different molecular weights (around 170,000; 740,000, and 1.9 x 10(6) Da) were added to phospholipid suspensions (DPPC or egg lecithin) that were in the form of either unilamellar particles or ...

Biochemistry of Hyaluronan

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1987
Hyaluronan (hyaluronic acid) is a linear polysaccharide formed from disaccharide units containing N-acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid. It is ubiquitously distributed in the organism but is found in the highest concentrations in soft connective tissues. The molecular weight of hyaluronan is usually in the order of 10(6) to 10(7).

Hyaluronan and Hyaluronan Fragments

2017
The glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan (HA) is a key component of the microenvironment surrounding cells. In healthy tissues, HA molecules have extremely high molecular mass and consequently large hydrodynamic volumes. Tethered to the cell surface by clustered receptor proteins, HA molecules crowd each other, as well as other macromolecular species.

Hyaluronan: an overview.

Journal of biological regulators and homeostatic agents, 2017
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a polyanionic natural polymer occurring as a linear polysaccharide composed of glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine repeats. Hyaluronic acid has a wide range of applications with its excellent physicochemical properties such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, non-toxicity, non-immunogenicity and serves as an excellent ...
