ABSTRACT
The sequence of the disacharide units of eight heparan sulfate proteoglycans of different origins is described. All heparan sulfates contain 5 variable regions made of oligosaccharide blocks of disaccharides, namely GlcUA(1-4) GlcNAc, GlcUA(1-4)GlcNS, IdoUA (104)GlcNS) and monosaccharides (GlcNS, and GlcNS,65) at the non-reducing terminal. The N-acetylated region of the heparan sulfates is linked to the serine of the protein core through a trisaccharide of Xyl-Gal-Gal. Heparan sulfates differ from one another in terms of the number of disaccharides that compose each block
