Term Information

Accession: GO:0030202
Name: heparin metabolic process
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: heparin metabolism, heparan sulfate metabolic process
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: The chemical reactions and pathways involving heparin, any member of a group of glycosaminoglycans found mainly as an intracellular component of mast cells. They are similar to heparan sulfates but are of somewhat higher average Mr (6000-20000) and contain fewer N-acetyl groups and more N-sulfate and O-sulfate groups; they may be attached in the same manner to protein, forming proteoglycans. They consist predominantly of alternating alpha-(1->4)-linked D-galactose and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine-6-sulfate residues. Source: ISBN:0198506732, GOC:mah
