| Description: These are types of polysaccharides found in the ECM of animals cells. (a) Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are composed of repeating disaccharide units. They can range in length from several dozen to 25,000 disaccharide units. The GAG shown here is chondroitin sulphate, which is commonly found in cartilage. (b) Proteoglycans are composed of a long, linear core protein with many GAGs attached. Each GAG is typically 80 disaccharide units long.
