This 12 amino acids peptide is a hyaluronan inhibitor (HA), a high molecular weight glycosaminoglycan expressed abundantly in the extracellular matrix and on cell surfaces. This peptide shows specific binding to soluble, immobilized, and cell-associated forms of HA, and it inhibits leukocyte adhesion to HA substrates almost completely.
