“…In this review we summarize the structural diversity of chemokine–GAG interactions, which suggests chemokine-specific regulation by GAGs. These diverse interactions not only regulate the formation and location of the chemokine gradient, but also its physical properties (e.g., composition, steepness and duration [ 14 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ]). We also highlight emerging evidence for the involvement of chemokine–GAG interactions in other aspects of chemokine function, such as chemokine stability, negative and positive regulation of receptor activation, and remodeling the cellular glycocalyx, potentially to facilitate cell–cell interactions and transcytosis [ 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 ].…”
