Neuroglycan C (NGC) is a membrane-spanning chondroitin sulfate (CS) proteoglycan that is expressed predominantly in the central nervous system (CNS). NGC dramatically changed its structure from a proteoglycan to a nonproteoglycan form with cerebellar development, whereas a small portion of NGC molecules existed in a nonproteoglycan form in the other areas of the mature CNS, suggesting that the CS glycosylation of NGC is developmentally regulated in the whole CNS. As primary cultured neurons and…

Neuroglycan C, A Brain-Specific Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycan, Interacts with Pleiotrophin, A Heparin-Binding Growth Factor

Results suggest that NGC interacts with PTN, and pleiotrophin bound to both chondroitin sulfate-bearing NGC and chONDroitinase-treated NGC prepared from the neonatal rat brain.

Neuroglycan C Is a Novel Midkine Receptor Involved in Process Elongation of Oligodendroglial Precursor-like Cells*

It is concluded that neuroglycan C is a novel component of midkine receptors involved in process elongation in undifferentiated bipolar CG-4 cells.

Expression and identification of a new splice variant of neuroglycan C, a transmembrane chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan, in the human brain

The expression of NGC in the human brain, mainly in the hippocampus, was studied and some observations were confirmed by conducting experiments using rat brain, and NGC‐IV, which was first found in the present study, had the shortest cytoplasmic domain among the four variants.

Recent studies demonstrated that the genes encoding proteoglycan core proteins and glycosaminoglycan synthesis and modifying enzymes are associated with various psychiatric and intellectual disorders, which may be related to the defects of neuronal migration.

Characterization of C. elegans Chondroitin Proteoglycans and Their Large Functional and Structural Heterogeneity; Evolutionary Aspects on Structural Differences Between Humans and the Nematode.

Recent data in relation to previous knowledge of core proteins and GAG-attachment sites in Chn and CS proteoglycans of C.elegans are discussed, indicating that specialization of proteoglycan-mediated functions may have evolved early in metazoan evolution.

Diverse roles for glycosaminoglycans in neural patterning

This review discusses recent evidence suggesting GAGs have specific roles in neuronal patterning and synaptogenesis, and considers the function of proteoglycan core proteins in these processes, stressing their likely role as co‐receptors of different signaling pathways in a redundant and context‐dependent manner.

Differential neuroglycan C expression during retinal degeneration in Rpe65−/− mice

During retinal degeneration in Rpe65−/− mice, NGC expression is induced in the neural retina, but not in the RPE, where NGC is expressed at highest levels.

The results show spatiotemporal expression patterns of NGC, and suggest that it plays a role in the formation of neural networks in retinal development.

Genomic Organization and Expression Pattern of Mouse Neuroglycan C in the Cerebellar Development*

Western blot analysis demonstrated that, although N GC in the immature cerebellum existed in a proteoglycan form, most NGC in the mature Cerebellum did not bear chondroitin sulfate chain(s), indicating that NGC is a typical part-time proteoglyca.

Phosphorylation of Neuroglycan C, a Brain-specific Transmembrane Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycan, and Its Localization in the Lipid Rafts*

This is the first report to demonstrate that NGC can be phosphorylated both intracellularly and pericellularly, and the findings suggest that a kinase with a specificity similar to that of casein kinase II is responsible for the NGC ectodomain phosphorylation.

Neuroglycan C, a Novel Membrane-spanning Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycan That Is Restricted to the Brain (*)

The sequence of the proteoglycan did not exhibit significant homology to any other known protein, indicating that the proteglycan, designated neuroglycan C, is a novel integral membrane proteogly can.

Findings indicate that the structure of the carbohydrate moiety of NGC is developmentally regulated, and differs from those of neurocan and phosphacan, and may be partly implicated in the modulation of neuronal cell recognition during brain development.
