Keratan sulfate (KS) is a glycosaminoglycan characterized by its repeating disaccharide units of galactose and N-acetylglucosamine, which are often sulfated. It is primarily found in various connective tissues, including cartilage, cornea, and the nervous system. KS plays a pivotal role in modulating cellular functions and maintaining extracellular matrix structure due to its capacity to bind with proteins such as growth factors, cytokines, and adhesion molecules.
In cartilage, KS contributes to the tissue’s resilience and shock-absorbing properties by interacting with collagen and providing compressive strength. In the cornea, it helps maintain transparency and light refraction properties essential for vision. Additionally, in the nervous system, KS is involved in neural development and repair processes, influencing cell adhesion and migration.
Moreover, abnormalities in KS metabolism are linked to several pathologies, including osteoarthritis and certain types of macular degeneration. Therefore, understanding the role and mechanisms of keratan sulfate in biological systems is crucial for developing therapeutic interventions for these diseases.
