:Mucopolysaccharides, glycosaminoglycans, chondroitin sulfate-dermatan sulfate-contg., skin
Description:
Mucopolysaccharides, specifically glycosaminoglycans like chondroitin sulfate and dermatan sulfate, are complex carbohydrates that play crucial roles in the structural integrity and function of connective tissues. The substance identified by CAS number 94945-04-7 is primarily derived from animal sources, often found in cartilage, skin, and other connective tissues. These glycosaminoglycans are characterized by their high molecular weight and unique disaccharide repeating units, which typically consist of uronic acids and amino sugars. They are known for their ability to retain water, providing hydration and elasticity to tissues. In the context of skin, chondroitin sulfate and dermatan sulfate contribute to the maintenance of skin structure, promote wound healing, and may have anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, they are often used in cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations for their potential benefits in skin health and joint support. Overall, these substances are vital for maintaining the biomechanical properties of tissues and are of significant interest in both medical and cosmetic applications.

Glycosaminoglycans
CAS:<p>Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are polysaccharides that are found in the extracellular matrix and on the surface of cells. GAGs consist of a linear chain of repeating disaccharide units, with one or more sugar molecules linked by a glycosidic bond. They have been shown to be important for the function and structure of tissues, including those in the gastrointestinal tract. GAGs have been shown to stimulate cellular growth, regulate inflammatory responses, and promote wound healing. They have also been shown to inhibit activity of polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMN), which play an important role in inflammation. One type of GAG is dextran sulfate, which has been used as a biological scaffold for tissue engineering applications. Glycosaminoglycans may also play a role in regulating immune responses through interaction with toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4).</p>Purity:Min. 95%
