From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dermatan sulfate is a glycosaminoglycan (formerly called a mucopolysaccharide) found mostly in skin, but also in blood vessels, heart valves, tendons, and lungs. Dermatan sulfate may have roles in coagulation, cardiovascular disease, carcinogenesis, infection, wound repair, and fibrosis. It is also referred to as chondroitin sulfate B. [1]
Dermatan sulfate accumulates abnormally in several of the mucopolysaccharidosis disorders.
