Endothelial Glycocalyx (EG)

Target
EG
Molecular classification
Extracellular matrix component, Glycoprotein, Proteoglycan, Glycosaminoglycan
01

Overview

The endothelial glycocalyx is a carbohydrate-rich layer coating the luminal surface of vascular endothelial cells. It functions as a barrier, mediates mechanotransduction, and regulates vascular homeostasis. Its disruption is implicated in various diseases, including sepsis, atherosclerosis, diabetes, and hypertension.
