heteroglycans
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
what are GAGs/glycosaminoglycans
linear polymers with repeating units
Major types of heteroglycans
n, o linked glycosaminoglycans, glycosaminoglycans, glycan of glycolipids, GPI anchors
