Abstract excerpt
The name glypican identifies a family of heparan sulfate proteoglycans that are linked to the cell surface by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor. Members of this family have been identified in Drosophila, zebrafish, and mammals. The interest in the study of glypicans has increased in the last few years as a result of the discovery that the glypican-3 gene (GPC-3) is mutated in an overgrowth and dysmorphic...
