Syndecan-Regulated Receptor Signaling

The syndecans are transmembrane heparan sulfate (HS) proteoglycans expressed on all adherent cells ([Bernfield et al. 1999][1]; [Rapraeger and Ott 1998][2]). A family of four, they have diverse functions ranging from participation in cell–cell adhesion, regulation of the signaling of HS binding
