The present invention relates to isolated molecules, peptides, and polypeptides of specific consensus sequences or structures, and to compounds comprising or consisting of such molecules, peptides or polypeptides, that function as transporter moieties or compositions specifically recognizing the proteoglycan, chondroitin 6-sulfate (C6S). The isolated molecules, peptides, polypeptides and compounds of the invention may be conjugated or otherwise linked to a biologically active moiety (BAM). Thus the BAM conjugates allow the specific targeting and delivery of the BAM, which may be, for example, a peptide, chemical entity or nucleic acid, into the cytoplasm and/or nuclei of C6S expressing cells in vitro and in vivo.
