| Research Abstract |
Polysialic acid (polySia) is the anionic polysaccharide expressed mainly in vertebrate brains. PolySia modifies embryonic NCAM and functions as a negative regulator between cell-cell/extracellular matrix via its bulky and exclusive features. In this study, we demonstrated that polySia directly binds to a brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and that through its interaction it regulates the ligand-receptor interactions.
