| Research Abstract |
Heparin is a biological product having anticoagulant activity. It is widely used in heart-lung surgeries, hemodialysis, and in the treatment of arterial/venous thromboses. Biosynthetic processes involved in the processing of heparin, especially that of carbohydrate chains after completion in Golgi until the storage of the final products in secretion granules, have not been elucidated. The current research attempted to analyze this processes in detail, and has reached a conclusion that the “heparanase” is the key enzyme in this process and the newly generated non-reducing ends of heparin chains weresuggested to have specific functions.
