Application

Heparan sulfate sodium salt from bovine kidney has been used:
  • to investigate its effect on proliferation of B cells[1]
  • to monitor its role on eye development in E5 embryonic cells[2]
  • to study its binding with exosome fibronectin in human trabecular meshwork cells using dot blot[3]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Constituent of membrane-associated proteoglycans suggested to contribute to cell-cell adhesion
Heparan sulphate (HS), a ubiquitous glycosaminoglycan, is a polymer of D-glucuronic acid or L-iduronic acid and D-glucosamine (GlcA) sugars.[4] It is synthesized in the cis-Golgi as heparan. In Golgi, final heparan sulphate is synthesized in by the action of enzymes N- and O-HS-sulphotransferases and HS epimerase. The mature HS has 50 to 200 disaccharide units.[5] It is part of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and plays a key role in the oncogenic pathway. Deregulation of heparin sulfate metabolism is implicated in cancer progression.[6] HS is associated with the onset of infectious diseases and inflammatory conditions.[7] HS interaction with Aβ fibrils contributes to the pathophysiology of Alzheimer′s disease.[8]Heparan sulphate is a constituent of membrane-associated proteoglycans suggested to contribute to cell-cell adhesion.

    1. Response from Sigma-Aldrich Corporation:

      Thank you for reaching out and sharing your review with us. Heparan Sulfate is a polysaccharide with a variable molecular weight. We do not provide a quantitative purity value for this product, however it is used as a substrate in testing of our Heparinase III product, H8891. We report the sulfur content on the lot-specific Certificate of Analysis. The molecular weight range of this product is 10 - 14 dDa. For further discussion, we welcome you to contact our Technical Service team by visiting https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/support/customer-support and submitting a Product Technical Inquiry. We hope to hear from you soon!
