Notes:
Abstract Structural glycoprotein (SGP) of connective tissue isolated from bovine heart valves and nasal septal cartilage forms water-soluble complexes with protein-chondroitin-4-sulfate and with various fractions of heparin. SGP does not form these complexes with hyaluronic acid. It is postulated that this phenomenon plays an important role in the formation of collagen and elastic fibers.
