Hyaluronic acid is an anionic polysaccharide composed of repeateing disaccharides of beta-1-4-glucuronate-beat-1-3-N-acetylglucosamine, the polysaccharides appears to be the unique amontest glycosaminoglycans as it is synthesised, and exists in vivo, without attachement to any protein. It can be synthesised with a very large molecular weight. It most prominant role is its intyeraction with aggrecan and lind protein to form the very large aggresgates typical of cartilage, as well as extracellular matrices it can be found on cell surfaces. Its structural rold in cartilage is dependant upon its specific interaction with the HA binding region of aggrecan adn the homologous region of link protein. Other proteoglyhcans and proteins have been found to specificaly bind to HA and these are termed the hyaluronan binding proteins. As well as aggrecan and lind protein versican and CD44 have been shown to be HABPS.
We could supply fermented HA and plant HA extracted from silver ear mushrooms. Both for food and cosmetic.
