Biomedicines, 2022 White adipose tissues are major endocrine organs that release factors, termed adipokines, which affect other major organ systems. The development and functions of adipose tissues depend largely upon the glycosaminoglycan heparan sulfate.

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.

Heparan Sulfate Structure in Mice with Genetically Modified Heparan Sulfate Production [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2004 Using a high throughput heparan sulfate (HS) isolation and characterization protocol, we have analyzed HS structure in several tissues from mice/mouse embryos deficient in HS biosynthesis enzymes (N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase (NDST)-1, NDST-2, and C5-epimerase, respectively) and in mice lacking syndecan-1.

A critical role for lymphatic endothelial heparan sulfate in lymph node metastasis
Molecular Cancer, 2010 Background Lymph node metastasis constitutes a key event in tumor progression. The molecular control of this process is poorly understood. Heparan sulfate is a linear polysaccharide consisting of unique sulfate-modified disaccharide repeats that allow ...

Removal of cell surface heparan sulfate increases TACE activity and cleavage of ErbB4 receptor
BMC Cell Biology, 2009 Background Nuclear localization of proteolytically formed intracellular fragment of ErbB4 receptor tyrosine kinase has been shown to promote cell survival, and nuclear localization of ErbB4 receptor has been described in human breast cancer.

Agrin Is a Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycan [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1995 In the present study we have identified the extracellular matrix protein agrin as a major heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) in embryonic chick brain. Using monoclonal antibodies and a polyclonal antiserum to the core protein of a previously identified HSPG from embryonic chick brain, our expression screened a random-primed E9 chick brain cDNA library.
