General description

Proteoglycans are made up of a core protein to which glycosaminoglycan chains are linked covalently. They are present in many organs, and tissues and found abundantly in the vertebrate cartilage matrix. Proteoglycans are located in the extracellular and pericellular matrix of many cells.

Application

Proteoglycan from bovine nasal septum contains 86% chondroitin sulfate and so has been used to study the effects of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan in vitro. It has been shown to promote survival of neural stem cells in culture.
Proteoglycan from bovine nasal septum has been used in the induction of arthritis in mice.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Proteoglycans are involved in tissue organization and promote cell growth and specialized tissue maturation. They act as biological filters and regulate collagen fibrillogenesis, skin tensile strength, and neurite growth. Proteoglycans are also involved in modulating growth-factor activities, affecting tumor cell growth and invasion, and promoting corneal transparency.

Preparation Note

Chromatographically purified using 7M urea on DEAE-cellulose by modified procedure by Antonopoulos.

Understanding how autocrine/paracrine factors regulate neural stem cell (NSC) survival and growth is fundamental to the utilization of these cells for therapeutic applications and as cellular models for the brain. In vitro, NSCs can be propagated along with neural progenitors

Glycosaminoglycans and Proteoglycans

There are five identified glycosaminoglycan chains (see Figure 1): Hyaluronan is not sulfated, but the other glycosaminoglycan chains contain sulfate substituents at various positions of the chain.

Glycosaminoglycan Sulfation and Signaling

Glycosaminoglycans are large linear polysaccharides constructed of repeating disaccharide units.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
