Agrin Is a Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycan [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1995 In the present study we have identified the extracellular matrix protein agrin as a major heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) in embryonic chick brain. Using monoclonal antibodies and a polyclonal antiserum to the core protein of a previously identified HSPG from embryonic chick brain, our expression screened a random-primed E9 chick brain cDNA library.

A critical role for lymphatic endothelial heparan sulfate in lymph node metastasis
Molecular Cancer, 2010 Background Lymph node metastasis constitutes a key event in tumor progression. The molecular control of this process is poorly understood. Heparan sulfate is a linear polysaccharide consisting of unique sulfate-modified disaccharide repeats that allow ...

Removal of cell surface heparan sulfate increases TACE activity and cleavage of ErbB4 receptor
BMC Cell Biology, 2009 Background Nuclear localization of proteolytically formed intracellular fragment of ErbB4 receptor tyrosine kinase has been shown to promote cell survival, and nuclear localization of ErbB4 receptor has been described in human breast cancer.

Bioengineered heparins and heparan sulfates [PDF]
Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 2016 Heparin and heparan sulfates are closely related linear anionic polysaccharides, called glycosaminoglycans, which exhibit a number of important biological and pharmacological activities. These polysaccharides, having complex structures and polydispersity, are biosynthesized in the Golgi of animal cells.

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

Enterovirus 71 uses cell surface heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycan as an attachment receptor [PDF]
, 2013 Enterovirus 71 (EV-71) infections are usually associated with mild hand, foot, and mouth disease in young children but have been reported to cause severe neurological complications with high mortality rates.

Heparan sulfate signaling in cancer [PDF]
Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 2014 Heparan sulfate (HS) is a biopolymer consisting of variably sulfated repeating disaccharide units. The anticoagulant heparin is a highly sulfated intracellular variant of HS. HS has demonstrated roles in embryonic development, homeostasis, and human disease via non-covalent interactions with numerous cellular proteins, including growth factors and ...

Glycosaminoglycans in the human cornea: age-related changes [PDF]
, 2015 AIM: To investigate possible age-related changes in glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in the human cornea. The substances today called GAGs were previously referred to as mucopolysaccharides.
