heparan sulfate

* * *

hep·a·ran sulfate 'hep-ə-.ran- n a sulfated glycosaminoglycan that accumulates in bodily tissues in abnormal amounts in some mucopolysaccharidoses called also heparitin sulfate

* * *

hep·a·ran sul·fate (hepґə-ran) a glycosaminoglycan occurring in the cell membrane of most cells. It consists of repeating disaccharide units in specific linkage, each composed of a glucosamine residue linked to a uronic acid, either glucuronic acid or L-iduronic acid, which may be sulfated. The glucosamine residues frequently contain acetyl or sulfate group substituents. It is an accumulation product in several mucopolysaccharidoses.
