Glycosaminoglycans Flashcards
Present in bacteria and ECM of nearly all animals
for CELL MIGRATION during morphogenesis and WOUND REPAIR
HYALURONIC ACID
Major component of CARTLAGE
Chondroitin sulfate
cartilage
bone
CNS
Isolated from CORNEA
KERATAN SULFATE I
Isolated from CARTILAGE
KERATAN SULFATE II
Play a critical role in CORNEAL TRANSPARENCY
KERATAN SULFATE I and II
Consists of glucosamine and 2 uronic acids
Anticoagulant
Binds to Lipoprotein Lipase
HEPARIN
Present on many cell surfaces as proteoglycan
act as RECEPTORS
cell growth and cell to cell communication
KIDNEY BASEMENT MEBRANE
CHARGE SELECTIVENESS OF GLOMERULAR FILTRATION
HEPARAN SULFATE
Widely distributed GAG
The MAIN GAG of skin
Dermatan sulfate
GAG with NO uronic acid
Keratan Sulfate
GAG with NO sulfate group
Hyaluronic Acid
GAG NOT covalently linked to protein
Hyaluronic Acid
GAG found in BACTERIA
Hyaluronic Acid
GAG which is an ANTICOAGULANT
HEPARIN
MOST ABUNDANT GAG
Chondroitin sulfate
Site of Synthesis of GAG
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Golgi
