Metabolite Identification
Common NameChondroitin
DescriptionChondroitin belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acylaminosugars. These are organic compounds containing a sugar linked to a chain through N-acyl group. Chondroitin is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Phosphoadenosine phosphosulfate and chondroitin can be converted into adenosine 3',5'-diphosphate and chondroitin 4-sulfate; which is catalyzed by the enzyme carbohydrate sulfotransferase 11. In cattle, chondroitin is involved in the metabolic pathway called the sulfate/sulfite metabolism pathway.

Converts D-glucuronic acid to L-iduronic acid (IdoUA) residues.
Gene Name:
DSE
Uniprot ID:
P0C2H4
Molecular weight:
109725.0
General function:
Involved in calcium ion binding
Specific function:
May play a role in the structural integrity of cartilage via its interaction with other extracellular matrix proteins such as the collagens and fibronectin. Can mediate the interaction of chondrocytes with the cartilage extracellular matrix through interaction with cell surface integrin receptors. Could play a role in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis. Potent suppressor of apoptosis in both primary chondrocytes and transformed cells. Suppresses apoptosis by blocking the activation of caspase-3 and by inducing the IAP family of survival proteins (BIRC3, BIRC2, BIRC5 and XIAP). Essential for maintaining a vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) contractile/differentiated phenotype under physiological and pathological stimuli. Maintains this phenotype of VSMCs by interacting with ITGA7 (By similarity).
