Correlation of specific sulfated glycosaminoglycans with collagen types I, II, and III
Cell and Tissue Research
|January 1, 1981
Abstract:
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.
