Queratán sulfato: Diferenzas entre revisións

 

==Estrutura do queratán sulfato==

 

The basic repeating disaccharide unit within keratan sulfate is -3[[Galactose|Gal]]β1-4[[N-Acetylglucosamine|GlcNAc]]β1-. This can be sulfated at carbon position 6 (C6) of either or both the Gal or GlcNAc [[monosaccharide]]s. However, the detailed [[primary structure]] of specific KS types are best considered to be composed of three regions:<ref name=tai>{{cite journal | author = Tai GH, Huckerby TN and Nieduszynski IA. | title = Multiple non-reducing chain termini isolated from bovine corneal keratan sulfates | journal = J.
