HAS3 / Unconjugated / B2-C9

Product Details

Description	The extracellular matrix in most vertebrates express HA, which is a high molecular weight linear polysaccharide composed of alternating glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine residues linked by b-1,3 and b-1,4 glycosidic bonds. HAS3 produces lower molecular weight HA. The expression of the three HAS isoforms is more prominent in growing cells than in resting cells and is differentially regulated by various stimuli, suggesting distinct functional roles of the three proteins. HAS3 produces both secreted and cell-associated forms of hyaluronan and is the most active of the three isoforms of this enzyme in adults. HAS3 gene expression plays a crucial role in the regulation of hyaluronan synthesis in the epidermis. Specifically, IFN-g markedly upregulates HAS3 mRNA, whereas TGFβ downregulates HAS3 transcript levels. The human HAS3 gene maps to chromosome 16q22.1.

About HAS3
The protein encoded by this gene is involved in the synthesis of the unbranched glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan, or hyaluronic acid, which is a major constituent of the extracellular matrix. This gene is a member of the NODC/HAS gene family. Compared to the proteins encoded by other members of this gene family, this protein appears to be more of a regulator of hyaluronan synthesis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]
