Chondroitin Sulphate Proteoglycans

Resident mouse peritoneal macrophages synthesise and secrete equivalent amounts of chondroitin sulphate and heparan sulphate proteoglycans (Kol-SET 1987).

Chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan, devoid of any affinity to hyaluronic acid, and dermatan sulphate proteoglycan have been isolated after extraction of proteoglycans from pig skin with guanidinium chloride at low temperatures and in the presence of protease inhibitors. Some chemical and physical properties of the products were reported. However, a chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan from cultured human glial cells has been shown to bind to hyaluronic acid. ...

Sulphated proteoglycans have been isolated from ovine brain. The cerebrum accounts for the major portion of chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan, whereas the brain-stem fraction contains the majority of heparan sulphate proteoglycan.
