Identification of an Immunoglobulin Paratope Binding to Keratan Sulfate and Expression of a Single-Chain Derivative for Imaging [PDF]
BiomoleculesKeratan sulfate (KS) is a negatively charged carbohydrate linked to proteins. Several KS-bearing structural glycosaminoglycans participate to maintain the homeostasis of a functional extracellular matrix.

Beta3Gn-T7 Is a Keratan Sulfate β1,3 N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase in the Adult Brain [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2022 Keratan sulfate (KS) glycan is covalently attached to a core protein of proteoglycans. KS is abundant in neuropils and presents densely in close proximity to the perineuronal region of the perineuronal net-positive neurons in the adult brain under ...

Contributions of Chondroitin Sulfate, Keratan Sulfate and N-linked Oligosaccharides to Inhibition of Neurite Outgrowth by Aggrecan [PDF]
Biology, 2020 The role of proteoglycans in the central nervous system (CNS) is a rapidly evolving field and has major implications in the field of CNS injury. Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) increase in abundance following damage to the spinal cord and ...

GlcNAc6ST2/CHST4 Is Essential for the Synthesis of R-10G-Reactive Keratan Sulfate/Sulfated N-Acetyllactosamine Oligosaccharides in Mouse Pleural Mesothelium [PDF]
MoleculesWe recently showed that 6-sulfo sialyl N-acetyllactosamine (LacNAc) in O-linked glycans recognized by the CL40 antibody is abundant in the pleural mesothelium under physiological conditions and that these glycans undergo complementary synthesis by ...

Ablation of keratan sulfate accelerates early phase pathogenesis of ALS. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Biopolymers consist of three major classes, i.e., polynucleotides (DNA, RNA), polypeptides (proteins) and polysaccharides (sugar chains). It is widely accepted that polynucleotides and polypeptides play fundamental roles in the pathogenesis of ...

Pathology International, EarlyView.The purpose of this study is to investigate sulfation modification of the glycan structure decorating HEG1, one of the diagnostic markers of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), in MPM. Immunohistochemical analysis reveals low‐sulfated keratan sulfate (KS) expression, recognized by 294‐1B1 and R‐10G, in MPM tissues with HEG1 expression.
