Novel Insight Into Glycosaminoglycan Biosynthesis Based on Gene Expression Profiles
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) including chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, heparan sulfate, and keratan sulfate, except for hyaluronan that is a free polysaccharide, are covalently attached to core proteins to form proteoglycans.

Isolation and characterization of a heptaglycosylceramide from bovine erythrocyte membranes.
A heptaglycosylceramide was isolated from bovine erythrocyte membranes. The structure was characterized to be Gal(alpha 1-3)Gal(beta 1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta 1-4)Glc-NAc(beta 1-4)al(beta 1-4)GlcCer.

Endothelial glycocalyx degradation during sepsis: Causes and consequences
The glycocalyx is a ubiquitous structure found on endothelial cells that extends into the vascular lumen. It is enriched in proteoglycans, which are proteins attached to the glycosaminoglycans heparan sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate ...

A glycosidase which attacks corneal keratan sulfate was purified from extracts of Pseudomonas sp. IFO-13309. When corneal keratan sulfate was degraded by the purified enzyme, Sephadex G-50 chromatography indicated the presence of a number of oligosaccharides differing in size and sulfate content.

Increased Urinary Excretion of Keratan Sulfate in Fucosidosis [PDF]
In two children exhibiting the clinical symptoms of fucosidosis, the diagnosis was biochemically ascertained by the demonstration of a profound altpha-L-fucosidase deficiency in cultured skin fibroblasts. The non-dialysed urines of these fucosidosis patients were separated into two fractions by chromatography on Biogel P-2.

Establishment of Glycosaminoglycan Assays for Mucopolysaccharidoses
Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are a group of lysosomal storage disorders caused by deficiency of the lysosomal enzymes essential for catabolism of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs).

A glycan having a hydrazide tag enables chemoenzymatic synthesis of HS oligosaccharides. The hydrazide can, under mild acidic conditions, react with an aldehyde‐containing resin to give an immobilized hydrazone that is stable under neutral conditions, allowing washing. The product can be released by transiminolysis using aqueous hydroxylamine to give a

Proton conductivity of glycosaminoglycans.
Proton conductivity is important in many natural phenomena including oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria and archaea, uncoupling membrane potentials by the antibiotic Gramicidin, and proton actuated bioluminescence in dinoflagellate.

Abstract Protein-keratan sulfate core was isolated from bovine nasal cartilage proteoglycan after enzymatically removing chondroitin sulfate with chondroitinase AC from Flavobacterium heparinum. The core preparation exhibited a broad, approximately Gaussian distribution of buoyant densities in CsCl density gradients (between 1.43 and 1.58 g per ml with

Collagens and proteoglycans of the corneal extracellular matrix
The cornea is a curved and transparent structure that provides the initial focusing of a light image into the eye. It consists of a central stroma that constitutes 90% of the corneal depth, covered anteriorly with epithelium and posteriorly with ...
