Hyaluronan synthase 3 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the HAS3 gene.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.
