Glycosaminoglycans in Neurofibromas
The Journal of Dermatology, 1990AbstractGlycosaminoglycan (GAG) contents in neurofibromas (NFs) were examined to clarify how well they corresponded to their histological features. Eight cutaneous NFs and three plexiform NFs from five patients with Recklinghausen's (R) disease, two senile NFs, and control dermis were subjected to the isolation of GAGs.

Glycosaminoglycans in Urolithiasis
Nephron, 1992To determine if there are differences in urinary glycosaminoglycan (GAG) concentrations, 43 stone-forming patients and 37 healthy control subjects of both sexes were studied. Urinary concentrations of calcium, magnesium, creatinine, uric acid and GAGs were determined.

Glycosaminoglycans and Neuroprotection
2011Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are basic building blocks of the ground substance of the extracellular matrix and present at the cellular level as an important component of the glycocalyx covering the cell membrane. In addition to the general role of GAGs in maintaining the integrity of the cell and extracellular matrix by retaining water, certain GAGs ...

New targets for glycosaminoglycans and glycosaminoglycans as novel targets
Expert Review of Proteomics, 2013Biological functions of a variety of proteins are mediated via their interaction with glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). The structural diversity within the wide GAG landscape provides individual interaction sites for a multitude of proteins involved in several pathophysiological processes.

Brain glycosaminoglycans and glycosaminoglycan sulphotransferase in sanfilippo syndrome
Clinica Chimica Acta, 1970Analysis of various glycosaminoglycans in brain obtained from two patients with Sanfilippo syndrome indicates that the major glycosaminoglycan accumulated in brain was heparan sulphate. Dermatan sulphate was also increased in one case as compared to normal, whereas only heparan sulphate was present in the other. Chondroitin-4-sulphate sulphotransferase

Glycosaminoglycan-lipoprotein interaction
Glycoconjugate Journal, 2001Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) bound to various proteoglycans (PGs) present in the cardiovascular system have been proposed to perform a wide range of functions. These include conferring viscoelastic properties; interacting with and modulating growth factors and enzymes; and as receptors and co-receptors in lipoprotein metabolism.

Therapeutic Applications of Glycosaminoglycans
Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2006Complex polysaccharides, hyaluronic acid or hyaluronan (HA), keratan sulfate (KS), chondroitin sulfates (CSs) and heparin (Hep)/heparan sulfate (HS), are a class of ubiquitous molecules exhibiting a wide range of biological functions. They are widely distributed as glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) sidechains of proteoglycans (PGs) in the extracellular matrix ...

Glycosaminoglycans in infectious disease
Biological Reviews, 2013ABSTRACTGlycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are complex carbohydrates that are ubiquitously present on the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix. Interactions between GAGs and pathogens represent the first line of contact between pathogen and host cell and are crucial to a pathogen's invasive potential. Their complexity and structural diversity allow GAGs

Glycosaminoglycan microarrays for studying glycosaminoglycan–protein systems
Carbohydrate PolymersMore than 3000 proteins are now known to bind to glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Yet, GAG-protein systems are rather poorly understood in terms of selectivity of recognition, molecular mechanism of action, and translational promise. High-throughput screening (HTS) technologies are critically needed for studying GAG biology and developing GAG-based ...

Analytical Biochemistry, 1993
Undegraded glycosaminoglycans form a complex with 1-ethyl-2-[3-(1-ethylnaphtho-[1,2-d]thiazolin-2-ylidene)-2- methylpropenyl]naphtho-[1,2-d]thiazolium bromide (Stains-all) in solution resulting in a characteristic shift in spectrum. Hyaluronic acid (a nonsulfated glycosaminoglycan) reacts with the dye to form a complex with an absorbance maximum at 650
