Heparitin Sulfate 147-162 myomesin 2 Homo sapiens 75-84 12752450-7 2003 Together with the finding that exogenous DS and HS could inhibit streptococcal adhesion, these data suggest that GAGs function as receptors in M protein-mediated adhesion of S. pyogenes. Heparitin Sulfate 48-50 myomesin 2 Homo sapiens 143-152
