Summary

Aggrecan (PG) is the predominant proteoglycan species in articular cartilage. The loss of PG and other matrix components from the cartilage leads to destruction of the tissue, causing complete deterioration of the articular surface. PG and PG fragments released in synovial fluid and serum during this degradation process might serve as markers of the metabolic changes in diseased cartilage.
