Proteoglycans are abundant components of the cell surface and extracellular matrix that
mediate critical interactions between cells and their environment. They play a variety of …

Heparan sulfate proteoglycans are complex molecules composed of a core protein with
covalently attached glycosaminoglycan chains. While the protein part determines …

Heparan sulfate proteoglycans are a remarkably diverse family of glycosaminoglycan-
bearing protein cores that include the syndecans, the glypicans, perlecan, agrin, and …

Heparan sulfate proteoglycans are ubiquitously found at the cell surface and extracellular
matrix in all the animal species. This review will focus on the structural characteristics of the …

Heparan sulfate chains (HS) are initially synthesized on core proteins as linear
polysaccharides composed of glucuronic acid—N-acetylglucosamine repeating units and …

This book provides a comprehensive, up-to-date review of the structure, biology, and
molecular interactions of proteoglycans, consolidating into a single source research using …

Heparan sulfate (HS) proteoglycans (PGs) are ubiquitously expressed on cell surfaces and
in the extracellular matrix of most animal tissues, having essential functions in development …

Although heparan sulfate has been known since its discovery 50 years ago by Jorpes and
Gardell (1948), only recently has its importance to the cellular economy become apparent …

Heparan sulfate proteoglycans are found at the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix,
where they interact with a plethora of ligands. Over the last decade, new insights have …

The molecular mechanisms that determine the interactions between cells and their
microenvironment are of central importance to the normal development and function of …
