Hyaluronan (also called hyaluronic acid or hyaluronate) is a 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.
Until the late 1970s, hyaluronan was described as a "goo" molecule, a ubiquitous carbohydrate polymer that comprised the extracellular matrix. For example, hyaluronan is a major component of the extracellular matrix that constitutes synovial fluid. Along with lubricin, it is one of the fluid's main lubricating components. It helps protect joints by increasing the viscosity of the fluid and by making the cartilage between bones more elastic.
