The coordinated regulation of heparan sulfate, syndecans and cell behavior

A C Rapraeger. Curr Opin Cell Biol. 1993 Oct.

Abstract

Recent advances in our understanding of heparan sulfate proteoglycans at the cell periphery implicate them as important participants in cell surface signaling. Regulation of the expression of discrete core proteins and of the specificity inherent in their heparan sulfate chains is thus emerging as a critical means of controlling cell behavior.
