Abstract

Hijaluronska kiselina je prirodni biopolimer koji ima važne biološke funkcije u bakterijama i životinjama, uključujući ljude. Nalazi se u većini vezivnih tkiva, a posebno je koncentriran u sinovijalnoj tekućini, staklastoj tekućini oka, pupkovinama i pilećim krijestama kod životinja. Prirodno ga sintetizira klasa integralnih membranskih bjelančevina nazvanih hijaluron sintaze, a razgrađuje ga obitelj enzima nazvanih hijaluronidaze. Otkriće nekoliko neočekivanih složenih bioloških uloga hijaluronske kiseline promoviralo je novi poticaj za biologe i klinički interes za nekoliko područja medicine, kao što su oftalmologija, dermatologija i terapija karcinoma.

Abstract (english)

Hyaluronic acid is a natural biopolymer that has important biological functions in bacteria and animals, including humans. It is found in most connective tissues and is especially concentrated in synovial fluid, vitreous fluid of the eye, umbilical cord, and chicken crest in animals. It is naturally synthesized by a class of integral membrane proteins called hyaluronic synthase, and is broken down by a family of enzymes called hyaluronidase. The discovery of several unexpected complex biological roles of hyaluronic acid has promoted a new impetus for biologists and clinical interest in several areas of medicine, such as ophthalmology, dermatology, and cancer therapy.
