Reconsideration of the Semaphorin-3A Binding Motif Found in Chondroitin Sulfate Using <i>Galnac4s-6st</i>-Knockout Mice

The chondroitin sulfate (CS)-rich dense extracellular matrix surrounding neuron cell bodies and proximal dendrites in a mesh-like structure is called a perineuronal net (PNN). CS chains in PNNs control neuronal plasticity by binding to PNN effectors, semaphorin-3A (Sema3A) and orthodenticle homeobox...
