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.

Wingless, Hedgehog and Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans [PDF]
Development, 2004 Several recent papers published in Development challenge some of the previous views published by our group and others that: (1) the Drosophila glypican molecules Dally and Dally-like protein (Dlp) are involved in Wingless (Wg) signaling; and (2) Tout-velu/Ext/Ttv affects Hedgehog (Hh) but not ...

Identification of novel chondroitin proteoglycans in Caenorhabditis elegans: embryonic cell division depends on CPG-1 and CPG-2. [PDF]
, 2006 Vertebrates produce multiple chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans that play important roles in development and tissue mechanics. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the chondroitin chains lack sulfate but nevertheless play essential roles in embryonic ...

Expression Pattern of Sulf1 and Sulf2 in Chicken Tissues and Characterization of Their Expression During Different Periods in Skeletal Muscle Satellite Cells [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Poultry ScienceHeparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are present on the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix in all metazoans. HSPGs interact with growth factors and receptors through heparan sulfate (HS) chains.

Heparan sulfate proteoglycans in glomerular inflammation [PDF]
Kidney International, 2004 Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are glycoproteins consisting of a core protein to which linear heparan sulfate side chains are covalently attached. These heparan sulfate side chains can be modified at different positions by several enzymes, which include N-deacetylases, N- and O-sulfotransferases, and an epimerase.

Congenital Disorders of Deficiency in Glycosaminoglycan Biosynthesis
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) including chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, and heparan sulfate are covalently attached to specific core proteins to form proteoglycans, which are distributed at the cell surface as well as in the extracellular matrix ...
