Interaction of Heparan Sulfate with Pro- and Anti-Angiogenic Proteins

Heparan sulfate (HS) is an unbranched and negatively charged polysaccharide of the glycosaminoglycan family, based on the repeated (GlcNAcα1-4GlcAβ1-4) disaccharide structure. The HS backbone is modified by epimerization and sulfation in various positions. HS chains are composed of N-sulfated (NS) d...
