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. 606 $aGlycosaminoglycans 615 0$aGlycosaminoglycans. 676 $a599.322 702 $aMulloy$b Barbara 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910765745703321 996 $aGlycosaminoglycans and Proteoglycans$92945089 997 $aUNINA
