Hyaluronic acid is an anionic, high molecular weight (600 kDa to 1000 kDa) and non-sulfated glycosaminoglycan distributed widely throughout connective, epithelial, and neural tissues. It is composed of a repeating disaccharide unit of glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine: [-β(1,4)-GlcA-β(1,3)-GlcNAc-]_n. It is traditionally regarded as a biological ‘goo’ that participates in lubricating joints or holding together gel-like connective tissues. Hyaluronic acid also functions as a microenvironmental cue that co-regulates cell, and interact with proteins involved in cell movement and proliferation.
