👉 Glycopexia, also known as glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), is a type of carbohydrate that appears in the extracellular matrix of various cells. It provides structural support to cells and facilitates their function by providing a network of interconnected molecules called oligosaccharides. GAGs play crucial roles in maintaining cellular homeostasis, including immune response, cell communication, and tissue repair. Glycopexia can be categorized into three main types based on
