  • Protocol
Book cover Proteoglycan Protocols

Part of the book series: Methods in Molecular Biology™ ((MIMB,volume 171))

Abstract

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are a family of complex linear polysaccharides characterized by a repeating core disaccharide structure typically comprised of an N-substituted hexosamine and an uronic acid residue. They can be categorized into four main structural groups: hyaluronate, chondroitin sulfate (CS)/dermatan sulfate (DS); heparan sulfate/heparin and keratan sulfate.
