Vol. 1 No. 2 (2025): A Keratan Sulfate: An Electroconductive Proton Capture Glycosaminoglycan Regulator of Neuronal Membrane Polarization, Ion Fluxes, Neuronal Activation and Neurotransduction

ABSTRACT: This study describes keratan sulfate (KS), a multifunctional electroconductive glycosaminoglycan, and it’s participation in electrochemical processes that regulate neuronal activity. Neuronal cells are highly responsive to electrical stimulation and this is an intrinsic evolutionary property of this cell type.
