About HAS3

Cytogenetic location: 16q22.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 16:69,083,484-69,118,719 (from NCBI)

This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 202 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Broad expression in urinary bladder (RPKM 19.2), lung (RPKM 12.8) and 24 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is involved in the synthesis of the unbranched glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan, or hyaluronic acid, which is a major constituent of the extracellular matrix. This gene is a member of the NODC/HAS gene family. Compared to the proteins encoded by other members of this gene family, this protein appears to be more of a regulator of hyaluronan synthesis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]
