Abstract excerpt
Heparan sulfate (HS) proteoglycans influence embryonic development through interactions with growth factors and morphogens. The interactions depend on HS structure, which is largely determined during biosynthesis by Golgi enzymes. NDST (glucosaminyl N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase), responsible for HS N-sulfation, is a key enzyme directing further modifications including O-sulfation. To elucidate the roles of...
