Glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans – A quick revision
Introduction The most abundant heteropolysaccharides in the body. Highly negatively charged molecules, with extended conformation that imparts high viscosity to the solution. GAGs are located primarily on the surface of cells or in the extracellular matrix (ECM). Along with the high viscosity of GAGs comes low compressibility, which makes these molecules ideal for a lubricating
