Has3 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables hyaluronan synthase activity. Involved in extracellular matrix assembly; hyaluronan biosynthetic process; and polysaccharide biosynthetic process. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; jaw; sensory organ; and skin. Orthologous to human HAS3 (hyaluronan synthase 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Has3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
