Syndecan-4 Proteins and Enzymes

Syndecans are type 1 transmembrane proteoglycans that constitute the major physiological form of heparan sulfate (HS) on the cell surface. The four vertebrate syndecans, Syndecan-1 through -4, have similar short cytoplasmic domains and extracellular portions that diverge, except for HS attachment sites. Structurally diverse side chains add conside...
