If the four major components of extra-cellular matrix are collagen, fibronectin, heparin and Hyaluronan (HA), draw a map of any direct contact interactions between these four components
Extracellular matrix (ECM) is composed of connective tissue made up of glycosamino glycans covalently linked to proteoglycans. The proteins found in ECM are collagen, elastin, fibronectin and laminin. Connective tissue members like heparin and Hyaluronan (HA) are found in matrix of cartilage at joints. These proteins are found in connective tissues of several tissues like skin, lung epithelim etc.
