Hyaluronan or hyaluronic acid (HA) is a high molecular weight unbranched polysaccharide synthesized by a wide variety of organisms from bacteria to mammals, and is a constituent of the extracellular matrix. It consists of alternating glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine residues that are linked by beta-1-3 and beta-1-4 glycosidic bonds. HA is synthesized by membrane-bound synthase at the inner surface of the plasma membrane, and the chains are extruded through pore-like structures into the extracellular space. It serves a variety of functions, including space filling, lubrication of joints, and provision of a matrix through which cells can migrate. HA is actively produced during wound healing and tissue repair to provide a framework for ingrowth of blood vessels and fibroblasts. Changes in the serum concentration of HA are associated with inflammatory and degenerative arthropathies such as rheumatoid arthritis. In addition, the interaction of HA with the leukocyte receptor CD44 is important in tissue-specific homing by leukocytes, and overexpression of HA receptors has been correlated with tumor metastasis. HAS2 is a member of the newly identified vertebrate gene family encoding putative hyaluronan synthases, and its amino acid sequence shows significant homology to glycosaminoglycan synthetase (DG42) from Xenopus laevis, and human and murine hyaluronan synthase 1.

Western blot analysis using HAS2 antibody against HEK293 (1), A549 (2) cell lysate.12% SDS-PAGE gel.Sample loading: 20μg /lane. Transfer the proteins onto a PVDF membrane (OM790003), and block it with TBST (OM750016) plus skimmed milk powder for one hour. Dilute the primary antibody with the antibody diluent (OM750012) at a ratio of 1:1000, and incubate it overnight at 4°C. Wash the membrane three times with TBST (OM750016), 5 minutes each time. At room temperature, dilute the secondary antibody, Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG(H&L)-HRP (OM643487), at a ratio of 1:20000 and incubate for one hour. Wash the membrane three times with TBST (OM750016) again, 5 minutes each time. Use ECL (OM625701) for luminescence.staining time: 60S.
ICC/IF
Immunofluorescence analysis of NIH3T3 cells using HAS2 antibody (green). Blue: DAPI fluorescent DNA dye. Red: Actin filaments have been labeled with Omnimabs® 594-Phalloidin.Cells are fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde at room temperature for 20 minutes. Then, they are permeabilized with a PBS (OM750003) solution containing 0.1% Triton X-100(OM750021) at room temperature for 15 minutes. Subsequently, the cells are blocked with 10% non - immune goat serum(OM760028) at room temperature for 1 hour.The cells are incubated overnight at 4°C with the primary antibody diluted 1:100 in PBS. The secondary antibody, Omnimabs® 488 Goat Ant-Rabbit IgG(H&L) (Green,OM643486), is diluted at a ratio of 1:400 and incubated with the cells for 1 hour.Nuclear DNA is labeled with DAPI (Blue,OM643160). F-actin is stained with Omnimabs® 594-Phalloidin (Red,OM750007) diluted 1:100 for 30 minutes.
