Molecular BioSystems, 2012 Proteoglycans (PGs) are among the most structurally complex biomacromolecules in nature. They are present in all animal cells and frequently exert their critical biological functions through interactions with protein ligands and receptors. PGs are comprised of a core protein to which one or multiple, heterogeneous, and polydisperse glycosaminoglycan ...

Cell Density-Dependent Suppression of Perlecan and Biglycan Expression by Gold Nanocluster in Vascular Endothelial Cells [PDF]
CellsProteoglycans are macromolecules consisting of a core protein and one or more glycosaminoglycan side chains. Proteoglycans synthesized by vascular endothelial cells modulate various functions such as anticoagulant activity and vascular permeability.

Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2001 The predominant proteoglycan present in cartilage is the large chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 'aggrecan'. Following its secretion, aggrecan self-assembles into a supramolecular structure with as many as 50 monomers bound to a filament of hyaluronan.

Intracellular proteoglycans [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 2004 Proteoglycans (PGs) are proteins with glycosaminoglycan chains, are ubiquitously expressed and have a wide range of functions. PGs in the extracellular matrix and on the cell surface have been the subject of extensive structural and functional studies.

The Effect of Intense Exercise on Equine Serum Proteoglycan-4/Lubricin
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020 Objective: Local biological and biomechanical-stimuli modulate proteoglycan-4 secretion within synovial joints. For the horse, changes to proteoglycan-4 concentration and function are notable in acute joint injury and osteoarthritis. Proteoglycan-4 (also

Chondroitin Sulfate as a Potential Modulator of the Stem Cell Niche in Cornea
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Chondroitin sulfate (CS) is an important component of the extracellular matrix in multiple biological tissues. In cornea, the CS glycosaminoglycan (GAG) exists in hybrid form, whereby some of the repeating disaccharides are dermatan sulfate (DS).
