- Derivatives of chondroitin which have a sulfate moiety esterified to the galactosamine moiety of chondroitin. (lookformedical.com)
- 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. (lookformedical.com)
- DERMATAN SULFATE) is a misnomer and this compound is not a true chondroitin sulfate. (lookformedical.com)
- It differs from CHONDROITIN SULFATE A (see CHONDROITIN SULFATES) by containing IDURONIC ACID in place of glucuronic acid, its epimer, at carbon atom 5. (lookformedical.com)

- Enzymes which catalyze the elimination of glucuronate residues from chondroitin A,B, and C or which catalyze the hydrolysis of sulfate groups of the 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose 6-sulfate units of chondroitin sulfate. (lookformedical.com)
- In this work, we isolated two new sulfated glycans from the body wall of the sea cucumber Thyonella gemmata: one fucosylated chondroitin sulfate (TgFucCS) (17.5 ± 3.5% kDa) and one sulfated fucan (TgSF) (383.3 ± 2.1% kDa). (bvsalud.org)
- Sulfated glycans inhibited both binding and uptake of rods, probably by competing with the binding of rods to cellular HS. (huji.ac.il)
- These results suggested that the cell surface receptor of prion rods involves sulfated HS chains. (huji.ac.il)
