Resumen *

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are unbranched, polysaccharide chains which, with the exception of hyaluronan (HA), are highly sulphated and constitute the glucidic moieties of proteoglycans (PGs) macromolecules. Depending on monosaccharide composition and protein linkage region, as well as sulphation pattern and degree, GAGs can be grouped in four subfamilies named chondroitin/dermatan sulphate (CS/DS), heparan sulphate/heparin (HS/HE), hyaluronan (HA), and keratan sulphate (KS).
