Abstract excerpt
Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) located at the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix of most animal tissues are proteoglycan coreceptors that carry heparan sulfate chains, and play a vital role in infections of many diseases. HSPGs are classified as glypican, syndecan, perlecan and agrin according to different core proteins. Syndecan-2 (SDC2) is one of the four coding genes of syndecan, while heparan...
