Heparan Sulphate Biosynthesis and Disease
26 Mar 2008
Abstract excerpt
Proteoglycans carrying heparan sulphate (HS) chains are ubiquitously expressed at cell surfaces and in extra-cellular matrices, and HS chains interact with numerous proteins, including growth factors, morphogens and extra-cellular-matrix proteins. These interactions form the basis of HS-related biological phenomena. Thus, the biosynthesis of HS regulates key events in embryonic development and homeostasis, and...
