Heparan sulfates and heparan sulfate binding proteins in sepsis
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023 Heparan sulfates (HSs) are the main components in the glycocalyx which covers endothelial cells and modulates vascular homeostasis through interactions with multiple Heparan sulfate binding proteins (HSBPs).

Heparan Sulfate and Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans in Cancer Initiation and Progression [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018 Heparan sulfate (HS) are complex unbranched carbohydrate chains that are heavily modified by sulfate and exist either conjugated to proteins or as free, unconjugated chains. Proteins with covalently bound Heparan sulfate chains are termed Heparan Sulfate

Heparan sulfate and cell division [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1999 Heparan sulfate is a component of vertebrate and invertebrate tissues which appears during the cytodifferentiation stage of embryonic development. Its structure varies according to the tissue and species of origin and is modified during neoplastic ...

Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2011 Heparan sulfate proteoglycans are found at the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix, where they interact with a plethora of ligands. Over the last decade, new insights have emerged regarding the mechanism and biological significance of these interactions.

Heparin Mimetics and Their Impact on Extracellular Matrix Protein Assemblies
Pharmaceuticals, 2023 Heparan sulfate is a crucial extracellular matrix component that organizes structural features and functional protein processes. This occurs through the formation of protein–heparan sulfate assemblies around cell surfaces, which allow for the deliberate ...

Potential Use of Anti-Inflammatory Synthetic Heparan Sulfate to Attenuate Liver Damage
Biomedicines, 2020 Heparan sulfate is a highly sulfated polysaccharide abundant on the surface of hepatocytes and surrounding extracellular matrix. Emerging evidence demonstrates that heparan sulfate plays an important role in neutralizing the activities of proinflammatory

MASP-2 Is a Heparin-Binding Protease; Identification of Blocking Oligosaccharides
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 It is well-known that heparin and other glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) inhibit complement activation. It is however not known whether fractionation and/or modification of GAGs might deliver pathway-specific inhibition of the complement system.
