hyaluronic acid: a viscous mucopolysaccharide composed of acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid units, widely found in animal tissues (e.g. in synovial fluid, in the ground-substance of connective tissue, and in the vitreous humour of the eye) as well as in bacterial capsules.
1934Meyer & Palmer in Jrnl. Biol. Chem. CVII. 631 Data on the preparations of this acid for which we propose..the name ‘hyaluronic acid’, from hyaloid (vitreous) + uronic acid. 1957Sci. News XLV. 85 In vivo, hyaluronic acid has the important function of offering resistance to penetration by foreign matter, including agents of infectious disease. 1969New Scientist 24 Apr. 167/2 Dr W. C. McCutchen..was adamant that if the hyaluronic acid is removed from synovial fluid, it still lubricates efficiently.
Hence hyaˈluronate, a salt of hyaluronic acid.
