Glycosaminoglycans and Their Mimetics [PDF]
Molecules, 2016 Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are linear, polyanionic polysaccharides that are ubiquitous on the mammalian cell surface and in the extracellular matrix and are generally found attached to a protein core as part of a proteoglycan.[...]

Glycosaminoglycans and the peritoneaum [PDF]
Nephrology, 2002 SUMMARY: The introduction of peritoneal dialysis (PD) over two decades ago has allowed us to manipulate the peritoneal membrane to perform as a continuous dialysing organ. to maximize the efficacy of solute transport and waste removal, conventional PD fluids require unphysiological concentrations of glucose to provide the osmotic drive, lactate to ...

Evidence for the role of proteoglycans in cation-mediated gene transfer [PDF]
, 1996 We report evidence that gene complexes, consisting of polycations and plasmid DNA enter cells via binding to membrane-associated proteoglycans. Treatment of HeLa cells with sodium chlorate, a potent inhibitor of proteoglycan sulfation, reduced luciferase

Effect of epithelial debridement on human cornea proteoglycans
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2001 Corneal transparency is attributed to the regular spacing and diameter of collagen fibrils, and proteoglycans may play a role in fibrillogenesis and matrix assembly. Corneal scar tissue is opaque and this opacity is explained by decreased ultrastructural

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.
