MeSH definition : A family of transmembrane glycoproteins that contain a short cytoplasmic domain, a
single-span transmembrane domain, and an extracellular domain with heparin sulfate
and CHONDROITIN SULFATE chains. Syndecans interact with a variety of heparin-binding
INTERCELLULAR SIGNALING PEPTIDES AND PROTEINS and may play a role in modulating cellular
signaling during EMBRYONIC DEVELOPMENT, tumorigenesis, and angiogenesis.;
