HAS3
Description
The HAS3 (hyaluronan synthase 3) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 16.
Hyaluronan synthase 3 is an enzyme encoded by the HAS3 gene in humans. This protein is involved in the synthesis of hyaluronan, also known as hyaluronic acid, which is a major component of the extracellular matrix. The HAS3 gene is part of the NODC/HAS gene family. This protein appears to be a regulator of hyaluronan synthesis compared to proteins encoded by other members of this family. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
HAS3 is also known as -.
