General description

Chondroitin, a glucosaminoglycan (GAG), is a polysaccharide chain of alternating units of N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) and glucuronic acid (GlcA) that can be sulfated on the either or both GalNAc and GlcA units. Chondroitin and its sulfates are frequently attached to proteins to form proteoglycans.

Application

Chondroitin disaccharide Δdi-0S may be used as a substrate for the identification and characterization of enzymes such as Clostridium perfringens unsaturated glucuronyl hydrolase. Chondroitin disaccharide Δdi-0S may be used as a reference compound in the analysis of chondroitin disaccharide sulfates.

Other Notes

ΔUA = 4-deoxy-L-threo-hex-4-enopyranosyluronic acid; GalNAc = N-acetyl-D-galactosamine

Pathogenic Streptococcus agalactiae produces polysaccharide lyases and unsaturated glucuronyl hydrolase (UGL), which are prerequisite for complete degradation of mammalian extracellular matrices, including glycosaminoglycans such as chondroitin and hyaluronan. Unlike the Bacillus enzyme, streptococcal UGLs prefer sulfated glycosaminoglycans. Here, we show

Chondroitin sulfate is a glycosaminoglycan composed of N-acetylgalactosamine and glucuronic acid. It attaches to a core protein to form chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG). Being a major component of the brain extracellular matrix, CSPGs are involved in neural development, axon pathfinding
