mucopolysaccharide
Mucopolysaccharides, also known as glycosaminoglycans, are long chain sugar molecules found in the body. They are complex carbohydrates that are involved in various physiological processes, including cell-cell adhesion, cell proliferation, and cell migration. They are a major component of the body's ground substance, the fluid that fills the spaces between cells and helps to provide lubrication and support. Examples include hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, and heparin. Deficiencies or abnormalities of these substances can lead to a group of rare genetic disorders called mucopolysaccharidoses.
