HAS2 - hyaluronan synthase 2
Function
Catalyzes the addition of GlcNAc or GlcUA monosaccharides to the nascent hyaluronan polymer (PubMed:20507985, PubMed:32993960, PubMed:23303191, PubMed:21228273) (Probable). Therefore, it is essential to hyaluronan synthesis a major component of most extracellular matrices that has a structural role in tissues architectures and regulates cell adhesion, migration and differentiation (PubMed:8798477, PubMed:21228273, PubMed:20507985). This is one of three isoenzymes responsible for cellular hyaluronan synthesis and it is particularly responsible for the synthesis of high molecular mass hyaluronan (By similarity).
