Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans

CS-PG, chondroitin sulfate-proteoglycan these are similar to the dermatan sulfate PGs (DS-PGs) of cartilage ffable 48-11). SPARC, secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine.

Proteoglycans bind to a variety of different proteins and polysaccharides. For example, the large extracellular matrix protein tenascin, which is important to adhesion, cell migration, and proliferation, binds to chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans such as neurocan.225 Syndecan, a transmembrane proteoglycan, carries both chondroitin and heparan sulfate chains, enabling it to interact with a variety of proteins that mediate cell-matrix adhesion.185...

Chondroitin sulfate was identified in embryonic basement membrane on the basis of studies showing the susceptibility of sulfate-labeled material to chondroitinase and a reaction with monoclonal antibodies (Couchman et al., 1984 Paulsson et al., 1985b). Similarly, Reichert s membrane, endothelial L2, PYS cells, EHS tumor cells, and isolated glomeruli produce variable amounts of these proteoglycan (Oohira et al., 1983 Stow et al., 1983 Oldberg et al., 1981 Tyree et al., 1984 Hassell et al., 1980). The molecule produced by L2 cells (Mr 40K) contains a small protein core with a unique amino acid sequence (Bourdon et al., 1985). It appears that in such systems, little of the chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan is deposited in the matrix.
