- Hello Kid, I am a glycosaminoglycan.
- Hi, Glyco oo…who?!
- Oh, you can call me GAG.
- Haha, so you are really funny?
- Nooo, I am a very serious guy.
- Oh right...you don’t look like it !
- You may have heard about me. I am from the sugar family.
- Ohh really? I like sugar, I LOVE sweets.

- I am not that type of sugar. I am more complex. I am a very important guy. I work with proteins to help you grow taller, to learn and remember things.
- WOW!!!
- I live in a really nice place called the extracelluar matrix or ECM. It is outside the cells: the little chambers that make up your body, where everything happen.
- That is amazingl!
- I’m surprised you haven’t heard of me!!!??
- I can't tell you everything I do. I do so many things.
- I like your job. you must never be bored.
- Yeah, you cannot be bored in the ECM. It is the coolest place in the body.
- I want to know more about you!
- Oh that's very sweet, kid. Even scientists do not know much about us. They know more about DNA and proteins but not much about us GAGs. They do not know how we are formed or our length.
- They don't even know how to count us…Oh yeah, we are very mysterious! We are secret agents!
- That is cool! When I grow up I will be a scientist and discover everything about you.
- Well kid, that's a good choice. See you in few years then.
- See you later..amino.. Glycooo… GAG!
