    Glossary Glycosaminoglycans

    long sugar chains in connective tissues aiding structure and signaling

    Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are long, unbranched polysaccharides composed of repeating disaccharide units that play a crucial role in the extracellular matrix of connective tissues. They help maintain structural integrity, provide lubrication in joints, and are involved in cell signaling processes.
