| Chondroitin Sulfate |
Chondroitin Sulfate
A sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) composed of a chain of
alternating sugars (N-acetylgalactosamine and glucuronic acid). It is
usually found attached to proteins as part of a proteoglycan. A
chondroitin chain can have over 100 individual sugars, each of which
can be sulfated in variable positions and quantities. Understanding
the functions of such diversity in chondroitin sulfate and related
glycosaminoglycans is a major goal of glycobiology. Chondroitin
sulfate is an important structural component of cartilage and
provides much of its resistance to compression. Along with
glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate has become a widely used dietary
supplement for treatment of osteoarthritis.
