Scheme of HS chain biosynthesis. The symbols used are defined by the structures shown below the scheme. Structural domains (NA, NA/NS, NS) are defined with regard to the distribution of GlcN N-substituents as indicated. Also shown are regions that have been implicated in binding of specific ligands, such as FGF-1/FGF-2 and antithrombin.
