Chondroitin Sulfate
|
It was first described in 1854 by Fisher and Boedker. It forms part of the natural occurring proteoglycans (PG)
which are usually constituted by a protein core covalently linked to large linear heteropolysaccharide chains (GAG).The basic units are formed by N-acetyl-galactosamine and glucuronic acid.
There are two main types of Chondroitin Sulfate structures, which depend on the position of the sulfate group in the based unit galactosamine: CSA (in the 4 position) and CSC (in the 6 position), while CS A is in higher presence in mammal cartilage, CS C is highly presented in fish cartilage.

The naturally occurring Chondroitin Sulfate has a molecular weight of 50000 to 100000 Da. After the extraction process, its molecular weight is of 10000 to 40000 Da, depending on the raw material.
