Active Native Goat KERA protein

• Cat.No.: KERA-01G
• Product Overview: Native Goat KERA protein isolated from goat cornea.

Specification

• Description: Keratan sulfate (KS) is a special glycosaminoglycan (GAG) found in cornea, cartilage and bone (1). GAGs are a group of linear polysaccharides with different repeating disaccharide units. Other GAGs include heparin, heparan sulfate (HS), chondroitin sulfate (CS), dermatan sulfate (DS), and hyaluronan (HA). Proteoglycans refer to GAG-protein conjugates. Known KS proteoglycans include lumican, keratocan, mimecan, aggrecan and fibromodulin.
