chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan metabolic process
chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan metabolic process
The chemical reactions and pathways involving chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans, which consist of a core protein linked to a chondroitin sulfate glycosaminoglycan. The chondroitin sulfate chain is composed of the repeating disaccharide unit beta-(1,4)-D-glucuronic acid-beta-(1,3)-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine, the latter of which can be O-sulfated.
