Term
Hyaluronic Acid
Definition
this is a non sulfated GAG that is not linked to any proteins
Term
Chondroitin sulfate
Definition
most abundant, found in cartilage, tendons, aorta, ligaments, and combine with Hyaluronic Acid
Term
Heparin
Definition
only intracellular GAG, found in mast cells of liver, lungs and skin
Term
Heparin sulfate
Definition
this GAG is found in the basement membrane/cell surfaces
Term
Kertain sulfates
Definition
heterogenous with galactose; cornea, bone cartilage and combine with chondroitin sulfates
Term
proteoglycans
Definition
these are highly negatively charged GAGS
Term
F-6-P
Definition
GAG synthesis use what precursor?
Term
uronic acid pathway
Definition
what pathway do acidic sugars use?
Term
C-5 Epimers
Definition
D-glucoronic acid and L-Iduronic; how are they related?
Term
Hurlers syndrome
Definition
in this type of autosomal recessive diseases corneal clouding will be present and there is a deficiency with alpha-L-Iduronase
Term
Hunter's syndrome
Definition
in this x linked disease corneal clouding will not be present and there will be an iduronate sulfatase deficiency
Term
Sanfilippo A
Definition
this syndrome is caused by a deficiency in heparan sulamidase
Term
Sanfilippo B
Definition
this is caused by a deficiency in NAG (N-Acetylglucosaminidase
Term
Sanfilippo C
Definition
this is due to a deficiency in GNAT (glucosamine-N-acetyltransferase)
Term
Sanfilippo D
Definition
this is due to a deficiency in NAG-6-S (N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulfatase)
Term
sly syndrome
Definition
this is due to a beta glucuronidase deficiecny
Term
N linked
Definition
this sugar attachment occurs co translationally
Term
O-Linked
Definition
this sugar attachment occurs post-trasnslationally
Term
L-Gulonolactone
Definition
this enzyme is abesent in humans and is the reason we need ascorbic acid
Term
Tunicamycin
Definition
this enzyme inhibits glycosyl transferases
Term
lectins
Definition
carbohydrate-binding proteins
No enzymatic activity
Bind reversibly to mono- and disaccharides with high specificity
are examples of
Term
I cell
Definition
What disease is this? increased enzyme serum levels
Defective targeting pathway  no P to Man attached  incorrect targeting

Characteristics of this disease;
Skeletal abnormalities
Restricted joint movement
Coarse facial features
Severe psychomotor impairment
Death at around 8 years of age

Liver cells normal due to different targeting mechanism to lysosomes
Term
Type A
Definition
this blood type is the o antigen + NAG
Term
Type B
Definition
this blood type is the o antigen + galactosamine
Term
O type
Definition
this blood type is the o antigen only
