Popis: Using electrophoresis in agarose gel, a comparative study of composition of membrane-bound glycosaminoglycans (GAG) from normal mouse liver cells and from o-aminoazatoluene-induced mouse hepatoma cells was carried out. Differences in the composition and localization of GAG were revealed. The plasma membrane fraction of hepatoma cells contained no GAG; the bulk of GAG (approximately 98%) was localized in the plasma membrane free fraction. Within this fraction GAG contained no heparan sulfates with a high electrophoretic mobility that were detected in plasma membranes of normal liver cells. The possible involvement of proteoglycans bound to cell surface in transmembrane signal transfer is discussed.
