Functions of cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans.

Annual Review of Biochemistry, 1999
The heparan sulfate on the surface of all adherent cells modulates the actions of a large number of extracellular ligands. Members of both cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycan families, the transmembrane syndecans and the glycosylphosphoinositide ...

Small proteoglycans

Experientia, 1993
In this review the structure and functions of two non-related proteoglycan families are discussed. One family represents a group of extracellular matrix macromolecules characterized by core proteins with leucine-rich repeat motifs. Within this family special attention is given to those members which carry chondroitin or dermatan sulfate ...

Proteoglycans in retina

Progress in Retinal and Eye Research, 2002
In this article, we summarize the roles of proteoglycans in retinal tissue. Chondroitin sulfate and heparan sulfate proteoglycans are the major constituents in proteoglycans expressed in retinal tissue. Soluble heparan sulfate proteoglycans are found in the extracellular matrices of the basement membrane, such as the inner limiting membrane and Bruch's

Proteoglycans in the Eye

Cornea, 2002
Various proteoglycans are expressed in ocular tissues. We investigated and reviewed the distribution and the potential roles of proteoglycans in cornea, trabecular meshwork, and retinal tissues.Immunohistochemical studies were performed in rat ocular tissues. The concentration of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta2, which regulates the expression of

Biomimetic Proteoglycans Mimic Macromolecular Architecture and Water Uptake of Natural Proteoglycans.

Biomacromolecules, 2017
Aging and degeneration of human tissue come with the loss of tissue water retention and associated changes in physical properties partially due to degradation and subsequent loss of proteoglycans.

Proteoglycans in Dentinogenesis

Critical Reviews in Oral Biology & Medicine, 2001
The predominant proteoglycans present in predentin and dentin are the chondroitin-sulphate-rich decorin and biglycan and the keratan-sulphate-rich lumican and fibromodulin. These are small, interstitial, leucine-rich proteoglycans which have recently been shown to exist in gradients across the predentin.

Evidence of proteoglycan/proteoglycan interactions within aggregates

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, 1991
AbstractNonaggregated proteoglycan monomers, digested fragments of the monomers, as well as link proteins have been shown to self‐associate. These associations have not been shown to occur on the aggregate. However, previous reports, using the Kleinschmidt technique of monolayer electron microscopy, have noted proteoglycan subunits on the aggregate ...

Proteoglycans and Diabetes

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2017
Most proteoglycans are heterogeneous molecules composed of a protein core with glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) attached. GAGs are highly negatively charged molecules that readily bind to enzymes, growth factors, cytokines etc. and as such have many functions.
