Correlation of specific sulfated glycosaminoglycans with collagen types I, II, and III. 1981

L C Junqueira, and O M Toledo, and G S Montes

A qualitative and quantitative biochemical study of the glycosaminoglycans was performed in tissues constituted predominantly by one type of collagen, or in tissues containing mixtures of different types of collagen. The results obtained show the presence of dermatan sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, and heparin sulfate in tissues containing collagen types I, II, or III, respectively, suggesting a specific correlation of different glycosaminoglycans with these three types of collagen.

D002807 Chondroitin A mucopolysaccharide constituent of chondrin. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)
D002809 Chondroitin Sulfates Derivatives of chondroitin which have a sulfate moiety esterified to the galactosamine moiety of chondroitin. Chondroitin sulfate A, or chondroitin 4-sulfate, and chondroitin sulfate C, or chondroitin 6-sulfate, have the sulfate esterified in the 4- and 6-positions, respectively. Chondroitin sulfate B (beta heparin; DERMATAN SULFATE) is a misnomer and this compound is not a true chondroitin sulfate.

D003871 Dermatan Sulfate A naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan found mostly in the skin and in connective tissue. It differs from CHONDROITIN SULFATE A (see CHONDROITIN SULFATES) by containing IDURONIC ACID in place of glucuronic acid, its epimer, at carbon atom 5.

The repeating structure of each disaccharide involves alternate 1,4- and 1,3-linkages consisting of either N-acetylglucosamine (see ACETYLGLUCOSAMINE) or N-acetylgalactosamine (see ACETYLGALACTOSAMINE).
