Hyaluronan
Hyaluronan (also called hyaluronic acid or hyaluronate) is a non-sulfated
glycosaminoglycan distributed widely throughout
connective,
epithelial, and
neural tissues. It is one of the chief components of the extracellular matrix, contributes significantly to cell proliferation and migration, and may also be involved in the progression of some malignant
tumors. The average 70-kg man has roughly 15 grams of hyaluronan in his body, one-third of which is turned over (degraded and synthesised) every day.
