This book describes the complex structures of heparins and heparan sulfates (heparinoids) and how they are generated by their biosynthetic pathways. The book also details the methodologies for studying these structures and their cellular metabolism. Heparin-Binding Proteins introduces the general nature of interactions between heparinoids and proteins, and presents the role for these structures in their interactions with the proteins of the hemostatic mechanisms, fibroblasts growth factors, superoxide dismutase, and lipoproteins.
Covers cellular metabolism of heparinoid proteoglycans
Written by a distinguished expert in the field of carbohydrate biochemistry
Describes the roles of heparan sulfate proteoglycans in
Blood coagulation and fibrinolysis
Lipoprotein metabolism
Superoxide dismutase activity
Fibroblast growth factor responses of cells
