A review on an imperative by-product: Glycosaminoglycans- A holistic approach
Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications, 2023 Glycosaminoglycan is a generic term for a class of minor but significant components of the body. The extraction, application, and functionalization of GAGs are essential to explore owing to their biological significance.

An improved method for the structural profiling of keratan sulfates: analysis of keratan sulfates from brain and ovarian tumors [PDF]
Glycobiology, 1999 A previously developed method for the structural fingerprinting of keratan sulfates (Brown et al., Glycobiology, 5, 311-317, 1995) has been adapted for use with oligosaccharides fluorescently labeled with 2-aminobenzoic acid following keratanase II digestion.

Proteomic and Postproteomic Characterization of Keratan Sulfate-Glycanated Isoforms of Thyroglobulin and Transferrin Uniquely Elaborated by Papillary Thyroid Carcinomas. [PDF]
, 2003 Previous studies have suggested that surface components of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) cells may be aberrantly glycanated, but the precise nature of these molecules has not been unveiled nor documented to be of clinical relevance.

Corneal Dermatopontin Interacts with Keratan Sulfate Proteoglycans
, 2022 Dermatopontin is an extracellular matrix protein with many functions, amongst which is the involvement in collagen fibrils’ organization. It has been isolated from bovine corneal stroma, alone and in a complex with keratan sulfate proteoglycans, using 7

Effect of epithelial debridement on human cornea proteoglycans
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2001 Corneal transparency is attributed to the regular spacing and diameter of collagen fibrils, and proteoglycans may play a role in fibrillogenesis and matrix assembly. Corneal scar tissue is opaque and this opacity is explained by decreased ultrastructural

Novel Insight Into Glycosaminoglycan Biosynthesis Based on Gene Expression Profiles
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 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.
