Structure and functions of heparan sulfate/heparin – Importance of glucuronyl C5-epimerase and heparanase
Heparan sulfate (HS) and heparin are linear polysaccharide chains covalently O-linked to serine residues within the core proteins, so called HS proteoglycans (PGs) or heparin PG. HSPGs are produced by almost all mammalian cells and known to play important roles in developmental processes, physiologi...
