== Function ==

Cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans are composed of a membrane-associated protein core substituted with three heparan sulfate chains.<ref name="Pan_2021" /> Members of the glypican-related integral membrane proteoglycan family (GRIPS) contain a core protein anchored to the cytoplasmic membrane via a glycosyl phosphatidylinositol linkage. These proteins may play a role in the control of cell division and growth regulation.<ref name="entrez" />

== Interactions ==

Glypican 1 has been shown to interact with SLIT2.<ref name="pmid11375980">{{cite journal | vauthors = Ronca F, Andersen JS, Paech V, Margolis RU | title = Characterization of Slit protein interactions with glypican-1 | journal = The Journal of Biological Chemistry | volume = 276 | issue = 31 | pages = 29141–29147 | date = August 2001 | pmid = 11375980 | doi = 10.1074/jbc.M100240200 | doi-access = free }}</ref>
