HEPARAN SULFATES AND HEPARAN SULFATE BINDING PROTEINS IN SEPSIS

Heparan sulfates and heparan sulfate binding proteins in sepsis

Heparan sulfates (HSs) are the main components in the glycocalyx which covers endothelial cells and modulates vascular homeostasis through interactions with multiple Heparan sulfate binding proteins (HSBPs).During sepsis, Mat heparanase increases and induces HS shedding.The process causes glycocalyx degradation, exacerbating inflammation and coagul
