Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans: Master Regulators of Cellular Signaling, Tissue Development, and Neural Function

Journal of Neuroscience Research, Volume 104, Issue 9, September 2026.
Ubiquitous cell‐associated, cytoplasmic, synaptic and extracellular matrix HS‐proteoglycans are multifunctional regulators of tissue form and function. HS‐proteoglycans have diverse functions as growth factor co‐receptors in cell proliferation, differentiation, tissue development, mechanical stabilization, synaptogenesis, synaptic plasticity, and ...

Chondroitin / dermatan sulfate modification enzymes in zebrafish development.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Chondroitin/dermatan sulfate (CS/DS) proteoglycans consist of unbranched sulfated polysaccharide chains of repeating GalNAc-GlcA/IdoA disaccharide units, attached to serine residues on specific proteins.

Development of a fluorometric microtiter plate-based enzyme assay for arylsulfatase B (MPS VI) using dried blood spots

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2014
Mucopolysaccharidosis type VI or Maroteaux–Lamy syndrome is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency of arylsulfatase B (ARS-B) enzyme activity.

Mucopolysaccharidosis type I - Clinical and genetic characteristics of Romanian patients

Romanian Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2020
Background: Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency of α-L-iduronidase (IDUA), which leads to the accumulation of partially digested glycosaminoglycans (dermatan sulfate and heparan

Keratan Sulfate: An Electroconductive Glycosaminoglycan at the Interface of Sensory Perception and Neural Signaling

Journal of Neuroscience Research, Volume 104, Issue 8, August 2026.
Laboratory studies show KS has electroconductive properties with the ability to trap and transport protons in neurotransductive processes (Grotthuss proton shuttling). This maintains electrochemical gradients and fluxes at the neuronal cell surface in neural activation. Such processes are central to neuronal cell signaling and communication.

R17 Drives Heparan Sulfate Clearance via Endolysosomal Trafficking

Israel Journal of Chemistry, Volume 66, Issue 4, July 2026.
R17 is a viral protein that binds heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans and traffics them to the lysosome, leading to their degradation in a manner that does not require the presence of the cation‐independent mannose‐6‐phosphatre receptor. In BxPC3 pancreatic cancer cells, this loss in heparan sulfate results in the reduction of cell migration.

Mucopolysaccharidosis VI

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2010
Mucopolysaccharidosis VI (MPS VI) is a lysosomal storage disease with progressive multisystem involvement, associated with a deficiency of arylsulfatase B leading to the accumulation of dermatan sulfate. Birth prevalence is between 1 in 43,261 and 1 in 1,

Patients With B3GALT6‐Linkeropathies Display Sialylated Disaccharides as Truncated Glycosaminoglycan Linkage Regions of Specific Core Proteins

Proteoglycan Research, Volume 4, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The Ehlers–Danlos syndromes (EDS) are a group of heritable connective tissue disorders, characterized by varying degrees of joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility and extracellular matrix defects. Spondylodysplastic type of EDS (spEDS) is a rare type of this group that can be caused by pathogenic variants in the B3GALT6 gene, coding for ...
