Holothurian Fucosylated Chondroitin Sulfate [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2014 Fucosylated chondroitin sulfate (FucCS) is a structurally distinct glycosaminoglycan found in sea cucumber species. It has the same backbone composition of alternating 4-linked glucuronic acid and 3-linked N-acetyl galactosamine residues within disaccharide repeating units as regularly found in mammalian chondroitin sulfates.

Proteoglycan form of macrophage colony-stimulating factor binds low density lipoprotein [PDF]
, 1994 We recently isolated a proteoglycan form of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (PG-M-CSF) that carries a chondroitin sulfate glycosaminoglycan chain. Here, we examined the interaction of PG-M-CSF with low density lipoprotein (LDL).

Catabolism of chondroitin sulfate
Cellular and Molecular Biology Letters, 2015 AbstractChondroitin sulfate (CS) is a ubiquitous component of the cell surface and extracellular matrix of animal tissues. CS chains are covalently bound to a core protein to form a proteoglycan, which is involved in various biological events including cell proliferation, migration, and invasion.

THE OCCURRENCE OF INTRACELLULAR CHONDROITIN SULFATE [PDF]
The Journal of Cell Biology, 1963 Suspensions of chondrocytes were prepared by treatment with trypsin of the epiphyses of tibias and femurs of 13-day-old chick embryos. After washing to remove the matrix, such suspensions readily incorporate radioactive sulfate into both intracellular and extracellular chondroitin sulfate.
