gly·cos·a·mi·no·gly·can G0163100 (glī′kōs-ə-mē′nō-glī′kăn)n. Abbr. GAG Any of a group of unbranched polysaccharides with high molecular weight that contain amino sugars and often are attached to or form complexes with proteins. Also called mucopolysaccharide.
[glycose, hexose (variant of glucose) + amino- + glycan.]gly•cos•a•mi•no•gly•can (ˌglaɪ koʊs əˌmi noʊˈglaɪ kæn)
n. any of a class of polysaccharides that form mucins when complexed with proteins. Formerly, mucopolysaccharide. [1975–80; glyco- + (hexo)samin(e) a hexose derivative + -o- + glycan polysaccharide] TranslationsEncyclopediaSeemucopolysaccharideglycosaminoglycanenUK
glycosaminoglycan [gli″kōs-ah-me″no-gli´kan] any of the carbohydrates containing amino sugars occurring in proteoglycans, e.g., hyaluronic acid or chondroitin sulfate.mu·co·pol·y·sac·cha·ride (myū'kō-pol'ē-sak'ă-rīd), General term for a protein-polysaccharide complex obtained from proteoglycans and containing as much as 95% polysaccharide; mucopolysaccharides include the blood group substances. A more modern term is glycosaminoglycan, because all of the known six classes contain major amounts of d-glucosamine and d-galactosamine.glycosaminoglycan (glī′kōs-ə-mē′nō-glī′kăn)n. Abbr. GAG Any of a group of unbranched polysaccharides with high molecular weight that contain amino sugars and often are attached to or form complexes with proteins. Also called mucopolysaccharide.glycosaminoglycanA complex macromolecule considered to be the 'glue' of the cornea. It is responsible for providing the plasticity and structural support needed for successful corneal function. Along with other molecules, it comprises the solid portion of the cornea (,22%, the remainder being water). The distribution and arrangement of glycosaminoglycans are responsible for corneal transparency and thickness.Patient discussion about glycosaminoglycanQ. Does GAG really help? My mother suffers from osteoarthritis, and after taking a lot of pain-killers someone offered us to try glycosaminoglycans. Does it really help? It’s quite expensive….A. As far as I know it wasn’t proved in well-controlled trials to benefit the patients over placebo, so if it’s a consideration for you, I’m not sure it justifies the price. However, I’m only a lay-man, so consulting a professional (i.e. a doctor) is better. More discussions about glycosaminoglycanAcronymsSeeget a grip |
