The podocyte and the proteoglycan [PDF]
American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology, 2016 proteoglycans (PGs) consist of a core protein and linear sugar side chains [glycosaminoglycans (GAGs)] attached to the core protein, e.g., agrin, perlecan, glypican, and syndecan. GAGs comprise repeating duplex sugar units made of an aminosugar (e.g., N -acetylglucosamine or N -acetylgalactosamine)

Proteoglycan desulfation: a critical step in oncogenesis?
Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2020 Proteoglycans are essential constituents of tissue- and organ microenvironments, modulating both the structural scaffolds that surround cells as well as signaling cues that determine cellular phenotype.

Proteoglycans and catabolic products of proteoglycans present in ligament [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 2005 The aim of the present study was to characterize the proteoglycans and catabolic products of proteoglycans present in the tensile region of ligament and explant cultures of this tissue, and to compare these with those observed in the tensile region of tendon. Approx.

Cytokines and proteoglycans [PDF]
Experientia, 1993 Cytokines play an important regulatory role in the metabolism of proteoglycans. Proteoglycans are found in plasma membranes, but predominantly in the extra-cellular matrix. In the latter they are quantitatively and qualitatively essential components. Especially in a tissue like cartilage without any blood vessels, the cells are dependent on cytokines ...

Extracellular proteoglycans: A multiscale computational study [PDF]
, 2023 The extracellular matrix (ECM) plays an important role in cell migration and proliferation, and hence in the progression of malignant tumors. Healthy brain is one of the softest tissues, but in cancer, the stiffness of the brain ECM can increase by one ...
