... code, the ‘heparanome’, that confers the ability to interact selectively with a wide interactome of proteins, the ‘heparactome’, and thereby influence a network of cellular events. It is becoming increasingly apparent that understanding the structure–activity relationships of these enigmatic molecules...

... evidence for regulated changes in the synthesis and structure of HS chains expressed during early mouse brain development. The data suggest a new concept in which dynamic changes in biosynthesis of different HS sequences create distinct cellular HS repertoires, the heparanome [1]. Their expression...
