Proteoglycan form and function: A comprehensive nomenclature of proteoglycans

open access: yesMatrix Biology, 2015
We provide a comprehensive classification of the proteoglycan gene families and respective protein cores. This updated nomenclature is based on three criteria: Cellular and subcellular location, overall gene/protein homology, and the utilization of ...

Proteoglycan sequence [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular 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.

Cell Density-Dependent Suppression of Perlecan and Biglycan Expression by Gold Nanocluster in Vascular Endothelial Cells [PDF]

open access: yesCells
Proteoglycans 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.

Testing if Micro-CT Is Capable of Quantitating the Extent of Proteoglycan-Aggrecan Induced Axial Spondyloarthritis in Mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
ObjectiveInjections of proteoglycan aggrecan (PGA) have been reported to induce axial spondyloarthritis (ax-SpA) in BALB/c mice. It is considered to be a model for radiographic ax-SpA.

An Overview of in vivo Functions of Chondroitin Sulfate and Dermatan Sulfate Revealed by Their Deficient Mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Chondroitin sulfate (CS), dermatan sulfate (DS) and heparan sulfate (HS) are covalently attached to specific core proteins to form proteoglycans in their biosynthetic pathways.

Centennial Review: Trace mineral research with an emphasis on manganeseDedicated to Dr. Roland M. Leach, Jr.

open access: yesPoultry Science, 2021
: A century of publications in the Poultry Science journal is celebrated with Centennial papers. It is relevant, therefore, to explore trace mineral (TM) research with an emphasis on manganese and selected aspects of skeletal development.

Chondroitin Sulfate as a Potential Modulator of the Stem Cell Niche in Cornea

open access: yesFrontiers 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).

Cartilage proteoglycans [PDF]

open access: yesSeminars 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.

The Genes Encoding Small Leucine-Rich Proteoglycans Undergo Differential Expression Alterations in Colorectal Cancer, Depending on Tumor Location

open access: yesCells, 2021
Small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) regulate different processes and undergo significant alterations in various diseases. Colon carcinomas (CCs) are heterogeneous pathologies with important clinical and molecular differences depending on their ...

Intracellular proteoglycans [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical 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.
