chondroitin sulfate****-Fuction:
Chondroitin\'s functions depend largely on the properties of the
overall proteoglycan of which it is a part. These functions can be
broadly divided into structural and regulatory roles. However, this
division is not absolute, and some proteoglycans have both
structural and regulatory roles (see versican).
Chondroitin sulfate is a major component of extracellular matrix,
and is important in maintaining the structural integrity of the
tissue. This function is typical of the large aggregating
proteoglycans: aggrecan, versican, brevican,
and neurocan, collectively termed the lecticans.
As part of aggrecan, chondroitin sulfate is a major component
of cartilage. The tightly packed and highly charged sulfate
groups of chondroitin sulfate generate electrostatic
repulsion that provides much of the resistance of cartilage to
compression. Loss of chondroitin sulfate from the cartilage is a
major cause of osteoarthritis.
