what type of bonds do heteroglycans have

N/O (like homoglycans)

how are o-glycans heteroglycans linked

alpha-glycosidic bond

how are n-glycans heteroglycans linked?

beta-glycosidic bond

what are heteroglycans

contain more than one type of monosaccharide

core of o-glycans

galactosyl-beta-(1,3)-N-acetylgalactosamine

GAGs stands for

glycosaminoglycans

linear polymers with repeating units

glycosaminoglycans

Five classes of Glycosaminoglycans

hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, heparin and heparin sulfate, and keratin sulfate
