PROTEOGLYCAN

? A proteoglycans consists of a core protein bound covalently

to GAGs, and these units form large complexes with other

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

components of the extracellular matrix, such as hyaluronic
acid or collagen.

? GAGs consist of repeating disaccharide subunits.
? Proteins linked covalently to glycosaminoglycans (GAGs).

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


Carbohydrates make up about 95% of its weight.

? Proteins bound covalently to GAGs are called core proteins.
? Many have been classified; they vary in tissue of origin,

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


function, core protein types.

? Examples include aggrecans, syndecan, betaglycan,
