Glycosaminoglycan–Protein Interactions: The First Draft of the Glycosaminoglycan Interactome [PDF]
Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry, 2020 The six mammalian glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, heparin, heparan sulfate, hyaluronan, and keratan sulfate, are linear polysaccharides. Except for hyaluronan, they are sulfated to various extent, and covalently attached to proteins to form proteoglycans.
