Agrin is a chimeric proteoglycan with the attachment sites for heparan sulfate/chondroitin sulfate located in two multiple serine-glycine clusters.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 8 Aug 2003

Winzen Uwe, Cole Gregory J, Halfter Willi

Abstract excerpt

Agrin is a large extracellular matrix protein that plays a key role in the formation and maintenance of the vertebrate neuromuscular junction. The amino acid sequence of agrin encodes a protein with a molecular size of 220 kDa, whereas SDS-PAGE shows a diffuse band around 400 kDa. Further studies...
