Noun
Context #1 | Noun

biochemistry

Chondrin is a protein found in cartilage, specifically as a component of the extracellular matrix. It plays an essential role in the structure and function of cartilage tissue, contributing to its resilience and ability to withstand compression.

Synonyms

cartilage protein, matrix protein

Examples of usage

  • The chondrin matrix provides support to the cartilage cells.
  • During joint repair, the production of chondrin is crucial.
  • Understanding chondrin's role can lead to better treatments for arthritis.

Etymology

The term 'chondrin' is derived from the Greek word 'chondros', meaning 'cartilage.' It was first used in scientific literature in the 19th century as biochemists began to study the composition of cartilage more closely. Chondrin is essentially a glycoprotein that is a principal component of the cartilage matrix. The historical significance of the term is tied to the advances in medical science, particularly in understanding joint diseases and the structure of connective tissues. With ongoing research, our understanding of chondrin and its implications for human health continues to evolve.
