“…For example, cores that bear HS include glypicans, syndecans, perlecan, and agrin; cores that bear CS include members of the aggrecan and decorin families, among others. Some PGs, such as syndecan-1, commonly possess both HS and CS at different sites on the protein (6, 7), whereas others, such as serglycin, bear either CS or HS, depending upon the cell type in which they are expressed (8,9). Finally, some core proteins may be produced as a mixture of molecules possessing and lacking GAGs, or may lack GAGs entirely in some cell types.…”
