The GAG sidechains carry a significant proportion of the functionality of PGs, interacting with many proteins to form structural units in the extracellular matrix and to modulate the transport and signalling of small proteins acting as morphogens, growth factors and cytokines. Purified GAGs such as heparin and hyaluronan are in common use as therapeutic agents, with many more PG-based natural products, synthetic and semi-synthetic mimetics on the way; in addition, potential therapeutic strategies involving PG\/GAG biosynthesis and degradation as targets are currently in development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara Mulloy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3038428353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783038428350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mdpi AG\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/08\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.67d","brand":"Barbara Mulloy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46110748639487,"sku":"9783038428350","price":63.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4727bb8f-cbf5-468b-94d1-bdc91c767806.jpg?v=1725469658","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/glycosaminoglycans-and-proteoglycans-barbara-mulloy-9783038428350","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
