Select-HA 500k is a hyaluronic acid (HA) preparation of uniform and narrow size distribution prepared by in vitro synthesis using recombinant Pasteurella multocida hyaluronan synthase1. Select-HA 500k and Select-HAa is a trademark of Hyalose LLC.BackgroundHyaluronic acid (HA) is a high molecular weight anionic polysaccharide (1 000-10 000 kD) composed of repeating disaccharides and is one of several glycosaminoglycan components of the extracellular matrix of connective tissue. Free HA is taken up by the liver where it is degraded and recycled. Data indicates a relationship between HA levels local inflammation and severity of many disease such as hepatitis B or C rheumatoid arthritis liver fibrosis etc.Storage-20 °C or below. Avoid frequent freeze-thaw aliquoting is recommended. Avoid contamination with microbes or HA-degrading enzymes.References1. Jing W., DeAngelis P. L.
