Intracellular Hyaluronan: Importance for Cellular Functions

open access: yesSeminars in Cancer Biology, 2020
Hyaluronan-rich matrices are abundant in ECM and are involved in biological processes, such as cell growth and migration. Hyaluronan is synthesized by the hyaluronan synthase family of enzymes, HAS1, HAS2 and HAS3; the HAS1 and HAS3 genes give rise to ...

Involvement of hyaluronan and CD44 in cancer and viral infections.

open access: yesCellular Signalling, 2019
Hyaluronan and its major receptor CD44 are ubiquitously distributed. They have important structural as well as signaling roles, regulating tissue homeostasis, and their expression levels are tightly regulated.

Hyaluronan: Polysaccharide Chaos to Protein Organisation

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Structural Biology, 2001
Molecular dynamics simulations of hyaluronan have revealed the inherent flexibility of this glycosaminoglycan in solution. Crystal structures of hyaluronan-digesting enzymes have provided the first direct insights into the molecular basis of hyaluronan ...

Hyaluronan-CD44 axis orchestrates cancer stem cell functions.

Cellular Signalling, 2019
The prominent role of CD44 in tumor cell signaling together with its establishment as a cancer stem cell (CSC) marker for various tumor entities imply a key role for CD44 in CSC functional properties.

Hyaluronan in the lymphatics: The key role of the hyaluronan receptor LYVE-1 in leucocyte trafficking.

Matrix Biology, 2018
LYVE-1, a close relative of the leucocyte receptor, CD44, is the main receptor for hyaluronan (HA) in lymphatic vessel endothelium and a widely used marker for distinguishing between blood and lymphatic vessels.
