    GlossaryHyaluronan Receptor (HA Receptor)

    protein on cell surfaces binding to hyaluronic acid

    A Hyaluronan Receptor, also known as a Hyaluronic Acid Receptor, is a protein found on the surface of certain cells that specifically binds to hyaluronan (hyaluronic acid), a substance naturally present in the human body. This interaction plays a crucial role in various biological processes, including cell migration, wound healing, and tissue hydration. One well-known hyaluronan receptor is CD44, which is involved in cell communication and can influence inflammation and cancer progression.
