Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA; Morquio A syndrome) is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficient N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase activity, leading to cellular storage of undegraded keratan sulfate.

Isoforms of corneal keratan sulfate proteoglycan.
Bovine corneal keratan sulfate proteoglycan was found to contain three major protein components. Two proteins (37 and 25 kDa) were released from the proteoglycan by endo-beta-galactosidase, N-glycanase, or chemical deglycosylation. A smaller protein (20 kDa), not covalently linked to keratan sulfate, co-purified with the proteoglycan by conventional ...

Proteolytic remodelling of the extracellular matrix by pericytes
Pericytes are specialised perivascular cells intimately connected with endothelial cells and essential for the maintenance of vascular beds. They contribute to the formation and remodelling of the extracellular matrix by actively secreting proteases and protease inhibitors.

Macular corneal dystrophy with isolated peripheral Descemet membrane deposits
Purpose: Macular Corneal Dystrophy (MCD, MIM #217800) is a category 1 corneal stromal dystrophy as per the current IC3D classification. While characterized by macular stromal deposits, we report a case of MCD type II with isolated bilateral peripheral ...

Capillary endothelial cell heterogeneity in skeletal muscle of female and male mice
Abstract In skeletal muscle, capillaries have been shown to be critical to active hyperemia by sensing skeletal muscle activity and directing blood flow to contracting muscle fibers. There is evidence to suggest that capillary endothelial cell (EC) characteristics may change along the length of a capillary.

A novel, chemically synthesized fibromodulin (FMOD)‐derived peptide, SLI‐F06, has been developed to significantly improve scar appearance, tensile strength, and histological outcomes among multiple preclinical animal models. Demonstrating no genotoxicity or systemic/local toxicity, SLI‐F06 has received United States Food and Drug Administration ...

The Linkage Region of Cartilage Keratan Sulfate to Protein
Abstract Glycopeptides derived from bovine nasal septum keratan sulfate by acid hydrolysis and gel chromatography are shown to be enriched in the carbohydrate-protein linkage region. The effects of alkali on these glycopeptides are compared to the effects on the starting material.

Glycosaminoglycans and Proteoglycans
In this editorial to MDPI Pharmaceuticals special issue “Glycosaminoglycans and Proteoglycans” we describe in outline the common structural features of glycosaminoglycans and the characteristics of proteoglycans, including the intracellular proteoglycan,

Integration of clinical data with a genome‐scale metabolic model of the human adipocyte
We evaluated the presence/absence of proteins encoded by 14 077 genes in adipocytes obtained from different tissue samples using immunohistochemistry. By combining this with previously published adipocyte‐specific proteome data, we identified proteins ...
