Abstract excerpt

Mammalian cells synthesize heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) which consist of core proteins with covalently linked glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) of 50-150 disaccharide units. The GAGs exhibit great structural diversity which arise from differing arrangements of alternate disaccharide units. It has...
