Pathways in heparan sulfate proteoglycan biosynthesis. HSPGs are produced by the polymerization of polysaccharide chains onto serine residues of core proteins, followed by incomplete carbohydrate modifications involving sulfation, deacetylation, and/or epimerization of glucoronic acid residues to iduronic acid. Additional enzymatic and transport steps are required to generate the UDP sugars and PAPS (3′-phosphoadenosine-5′-phosphosulfate) that participate in many of these reactions (for review see Lindahl et al. 1998).
