Abstract excerpt
The keratan sulfate domain of aggrecan consists of a series of tandemly repeating hexapeptides which have the consensus sequence Glu-Glu/Lys-Pro-Phe-Pro-Ser, where the serine side-chains presumably provide sites for the attachment of keratan sulfate (KS) chains. The number of hexapeptide repeats varies between species, ranging from four in rat (Doege et al., 1987) and mouse (Walcz et al., 1992) to 13 in human...
