Names

[ CAS No. ]:
39346-43-5

[ Name ]:
Hyaluronan synthase

Biological Activity

[Description]:

Hyaluronan synthase is a membrane protein that requires only Mg+2 and two sugar-UDP substrates (GlcUA-UDP and GlcNAc-UDP) to polymerize HA chains. Hyaluronan synthase catalyzes the biosynthesis of hyaluronic acid (HA)[1][2].
