What's a GeneRIF?

Hyaluronan biosynthesis, by way of HAS2, is required for the retention of aggrecan.
Title: CRISPR/Cas9 knockout of HAS2 in rat chondrosarcoma chondrocytes demonstrates the requirement of hyaluronan for aggrecan retention.
Expression patterns of Has and Hyal genes differed between normal, acute-scarred, and chronic-scarred vocal folds, indicating the distinct roles of each enzyme in maintaining HA.
Title: Homeostasis of hyaluronic acid in normal and scarred vocal folds.
Data indicate that p38 and Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II pathways were found to be involved in the UVB-induced up-regulation of Has2 and Has3 expression.
Title: Low dose ultraviolet B irradiation increases hyaluronan synthesis in epidermal keratinocytes via sequential induction of hyaluronan synthases Has1-3 mediated by p38 and Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) signaling.
HAS-1 expression was significantly decreased on rat vocal fold postinjury days 3, 7, 14, 28, and 56; HAS-2 expression was significantly decreased on postinjury days 28 and 56; HAS-3 expression was significantly decreased on postinjury day 56.
Title: Extracellular matrix gene expression during wound healing of the injured rat vocal fold.
Results provide evidence of HGF treatment effects on procollagen type III and HAS-2 gene expression pathways.
Title: Effect of hepatocyte growth factor on gene expression of extracellular matrix during wound healing of the injured rat vocal fold.
Increased expression of Has2 and MMP-1 genes from BSCs may have a positive potential in the treatment of vocal fold scarring.
Title: Expression of extracellular matrix proteins in the vocal folds and bone marrow derived stromal cells of rats.
Epidermal hyaluronan synthesis, controlled by epidermal growth factor and transforming growth factor beta through changes in expression of Has2 and Has3, correlates with epidermal proliferation, thickness, and differentiation.
Title: EGF upregulates, whereas TGF-beta downregulates, the hyaluronan synthases Has2 and Has3 in organotypic keratinocyte cultures: correlations with epidermal proliferation and differentiation.
protein malnutrition has a primary impact on the gene expression of Has2 and Has3, which leads to the reduction of hyaluronan content and to disfunction of the skin
Title: Dietary protein as a potent regulator of the hyaluronan synthase gene in rat skin.
belongs to the targets of keratinocyte growth factor in keratinocytes, and support the idea that enhanced hyaluronan synthesis acts an effector for the migratory response of keratinocytes in wound healing
Title: Keratinocyte growth factor stimulates migration and hyaluronan synthesis in the epidermis by activation of keratinocyte hyaluronan synthases 2 and 3.
Has2 gene is a potent primary EGF and all-trans-RA responding gene with a complex regulation
Title: The human hyaluronan synthase 2 gene is a primary retinoic acid and epidermal growth factor responding gene.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
